You just don't get it because you, like many of your stance, can't step back far enough to evaluate the reality of it all.

Protesting doesn't change the opinions of apposing sides, it solidifies it and emboldens it.

Protesting against a hate group doesn't make that hate group go away, it just enforces their already stupid ideas and opinions, and gives them a sense of validity to what they believe - in the white supremacists case, the opposition just makes them fight back harder, and increase the ferrocity of their actions.

In instances where the perceived prevelance of a hate groups numbers are reduced, in actual fact all that has happened is the groups numbers have gone to ground, and hate groups hidden from plain sight are a much more dangerous group to deal with than the ones that you can point out in broad daylight.

This is almost always the case, because protesting does not encourage logical debate, protesting generally functions explicity to push an opinion or agenda on others and reject the opinion and agenda of others, it's a war of attrition, nobody ever wins, and without logical debate, opinions are never altered, they're just doubled down on and the rift between groups increases.

It isn't about who is right and who is wrong, because people never get to a point where they can explain why, it ultimately boils down to a shouting match, and the people who turned up in defense of either side, go home holding the same opinions they held the day before, only now they are a even less likely to question themselves.

I'm a right leaning libertarian. I don't like progressives/sjw, antifa types or the very religious "live as I do" right or the white supremacist types.

That's like saying that socialists are a part of democrat's voting bloc. That doesn't make the democrats socialists by association or anything like that. It's same with the white racists voting for some of the right. I don't believe there's alot of either. No one cares about their votes.

There's never been trump style politics before. It's a reaction to progressives in my opinion. Who knows if it die or live in. We can just agree to disagree on what the voter base will be like in the future. If you think it's all dems. lol

exactly... dialogue is the only solution to these issues and even that might not work, but it is the only solution

All of them promote violence one way or another. Of course one has a far worse more degrading and terrible history (KKK), but lets not say that BLM is a totally fair group. I mean they shot 6 police officers in Dallas a couple years back, and have spread violence too. Neither group helps unify America in any sort of fashion.

Honestly, I think history says 'no it's not'. 

Black people didn't gain rights in this country by politely changing the minds of racists in debate time. 

Life is not a debate, this is a silly idealized notion, I realize this is a video game board and most posters here are young, but that ain't how the real world works. 

The real world is about conflict and struggle actually, that's how things get done. We may not like that becuase it makes us uncomfortable, but it is what it is. 

There are people from all walks of life in a position to educate children on these issues, regardless of if they're children in ghettos or children going to 100k a year private schools.

While I do agree the school system in general is in dire need of an overhaul, it's current system shouldn't be used as a crutch or excuse for how children are educated, (or not educated, as the case often is) on these issues.

The guy that killed the six cops in Dallas wasn't a actual member of BLM.  But since its founding after the Civil War numerous actual KKK members have comitted numerous crimes against minorities.  Plus I'm pretty sure that most lychings of minorites that took place on a regular basis less then a hundred years ago involved some members of the KKK plus they actively promted such actions.

"Black people didn't gain rights in this country by politely changing the minds of racists in debate time. "

no... white people did initially and then black people when they gained a higher position in society... or are you trying to say that black people gained freedom from a weaker position through violence and aggression?

"The real world is about conflict and struggle actually, that's how things get done."

meaning what? what is your proposed solution?

Democrats have won the majority vote 5/6 last elections. The electoral college won't save the current Republican party forever. 

The voter base in the future will be less white. That is not an opinion, that is simple demographic math. They cannot run on the same issues forever.
