It's easy to say when you aren't being violently oppressed and have a pretty easy life (I don't know whether or not that's the case with you, I'm just saying it.) Large scale riots have accompanied almost every civil rights movement ever. So I think they have had their place. Maybe one day we'll be able to have social change without violence. It's just not the world we live in.
This is way off topic but:
Personally, and this is not me saying that it's what is best for everybody or the world, but..... I think the world is a more interesting place with violence in it. I've been in some very dangerous places in my life and they make for some of the most interesting memories. I don't necessarily hold with the idea that the perfect life is one of comfortable safety. I'd also much rather live in the Ghetto then the Suburbs. I'm not saying that applies to everyone, or there is anything wrong with wanting a totally safe life, but that's not what everybody wants. There is a reason we don't watch movies about people keeping well maintained lawns and going to PTA meetings.
