No knock against you, but I don't understand this reasoning. Oftentimes, those underrepresented people making 12 bucks (or less) an hour don't feel they have the freedom to protest. They often feel like they will face repercussions for their actions and not receive any benefit. No one will pay attention to their protest and all that will happen is they lose a job, end up homeless, and become even more impoverished and disenfranchised than before. Because of this, it is extremely important for people that may be in a more privileged position to speak up when they see injustices. That is what must happen in order to see change happen without a revolution.
