Waiting for your turn to talk about a protest those in charge mind the least to hear and doing so in the way that inconveniences them the least is polite, and yet ultimately also the surest way to make a protest fail.

Civil discourse seldom comes from the most ideal sources. But it's particularly foolish bigotry to discount it because of that.
