I must respectfully disagree.
Civil Rights happened, along with European War 1 and European War 2, since US Civil War. Actual warriors and fighters like Mohammad Ali and Malcolm X stood up and fought. Paid in their own blood. All while begging everyone else not to fall into stupid race wars.
Be ready and comfortable fighting back. But please don't pretend like this is some final existential fight. Don't advocate for heads in sacs. Please.
