We can either have civility or civil rights.

We can no longer have both.
No one was ever GIVEN civil rights because they asked politely. You have to fight for them.
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing the ground...Power concedes NOTHING without demand.

It never did. It never will."

- Frederick Douglass, 1857
MEMORIZE THIS PHRASE:

“If we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance along with it.”
- Karl Popper, 1945
