What a protester should be

Rosa Parks didn't destroy public property, she didn't deface buildings, she didn't throw molotov cocktails, nor did she use violence or aggression to get her point across. When I see activists or protesters these days, I cringe. My personal belief is that protesting should be symbolic. It shouldn't be a shouting match. It should be a gesture that speaks volumes, not a curse word or an insult yelled at the top of your lungs. Being an activist should reflect the fact you want the world to be better, not worse than it already is.
