Not the BLM thugs, who are more about Nation of Islam tactics than Dr. MLK and peaceful resistance.  That said, you are right on in your assessment, but its prob too far gone for BLM.  They need to rebrand.

You might want to revisit the civil rights movement and the role physical disobedience against the forces that be played in it. At the time white politicians and clergyman called MLK "too aggressive" and "too dangerous" as he openly courted confrontation. There's also a clear change in philosophy from early MLK to later years MLK. 

effective protests are not "peaceful"

Did MLK and the Southern Leadership Conference riot, loot, steal and attack the police and others when protesting? No. Did they resist when being arrested? No. Did they attack when attacked by dogs, fire hoses, and terror from the KKK? No. They were attacked by all the 'powers that be' , and they prevailed. I dont need to 'revisit' the civil rights movement, I lived thru it.  Thru busing, race riots and marches at my schools.  I didnt read it from a book or from Wikipedia, i was in the middle of it.  While i appreciate your opinion, i respectfully disagree. 'Fiery protests' solve nothing and just further divide.
