So you have to understand, you can protest all day long as long as you're harmless, i.e., you don't threaten the white supremacist power structure and its money. Hell, if you're a fascist, you almost have permission to do political violence in this country.
So when people ask me what it would take to get an effective mass movement in the streets, they don't understand how beat down the left, young, and marginalized people are in this country and how severe the reprisals would be.
