The only, only reason that the civil rights movement worked was because they had black panthers backing them up. Without threat of violence peaceful protests dont work.

This is bullshit. The Civil Rights Movement worked because people couldn't argue in favor of the relentless violence inflicted on non-violent protesters.

This entirely modern bullshit is propaganda designed to incite violence today.
