"As has so often been the case, the demands for civility function primarily to stifle the frustrations of those currently facing real harm. But protest is not often civil. In fact, in the long tradition of American protest, it's incivility that has served as an alternative to violent resistance, and it is what has functioned best as an antidote to the violence of oppressors."
