its a diservice to our history that protests of the past are sanitized and packaged as peaceful quiet and widely accepted in their time when that has literally nevre been the story. it only serves to silence protestors in the modern day by setting up a false ideal that says "see, in the old days nobody threw bricks or shouted or made us uncomfortable and it was for morals we all agree with now. NOW you're going too far and doing it wrong."

Damn right. This really needs to be said louder for the people in back.
