Thinking about this in the lens of civil rights:

> Can't I just enjoy my dinner without these black people coming into the diner to cause a scene for their protest that won't make a difference anyway?

Ethics should be considered at all times. So if by putting your head down at work to just work you mean turning a blind eye to ethics I dont care to preserve that right.

> Wow, so you think everyone must have the right to disrupt other people's lives with force? To block roads, to heckle meetings, is a god given right?

Yes, because without it there would be no America, no civil rights act for black people, and women wouldn't be able to vote.
