Yeah, you did. by saying that violence is inevitable, that a war is inevitable, you did. That’s what that means, that you accept their terms.

That wasn’t the CR activists. That was the pro-segregationist. You really need to go back and study up on the movement, which, was very much employed in non-violent resistance. There were certainly civil rights groups that embraced defensive violence, but it was not the mainstream of what we think of as the classical CR movement. Gandhian non-violence was the primary tactic.
And there are other ways to confront it than pro-active violence, which is what you’re calling for here. Defensive violence isn’t the same thing as agreeing to go to war. Which is WHAT you’re doing here. Being prepared to defend oneself and one’s community is different than gearing up for “an inevitable” war…
