Yes, some of the civil rights movement was aggressive. Most of it required courage and bravery to stand up against yelling mobs that didn't want black people in schools or on buses.
Against racism I don't think there is any singular magic bullet solution. It's a problem for society and will continue to be for the duration of our short time span on Earth. Things change, but it doesn't mean it happens on our schedule. I think in 100-200 years the concept of race will be rendered moot because of genetic engineering (ie: every parent will be able to select every physical trait of their child if they want, over time this will forever alter the human race).
All I'm saying is life is not debate class. That is a notion of someone who probably has spent most of their life in a class room (I don't say that as an insult just a matter of fact, we have all been young and naive at some point). Read any history book and find me periods of human history where massive change occured on the back of a debate.

my point was that beliefs and mindsets change through dialogue primarily in our current era and yes alternatively they are changed through violence, but that leads me to asking as i did before - what violent methods are you advoctaing to be used against white supremacists?
if you aren't advocting for violence against white supremacists, what options are you left with?

Sometimes violence is justified. I don't like violence, I'd rather it not be the case, but we don't live in a non-violent world of lollipops and rainbows either. That is a cartoon, that is not real life.
I am perfectly fine with very large counter-protests that show very clearly to their ilk that they and their ideas are not welcome.
