The evil in Charlottesville

In Seattle, people at a follow on demonstration were carrying placards with the usual boring sentiments, like "Trump wants Amerikkka," and the other usual brain-dead nonsense.

One placard said "White Silence is White Participation" apparently complaining Mr Trump was not harsh enough in condemning the vile deeds of violence.

But these words themselves were designed to promote violence and hate.  This kind of phrase is intended to corner people, not initiate conversation with them. 

The best answer is to get along.  Do something nice for a stranger, like holding the door at the store.  Don't notice their color or gender.  If they raise hell about your kindness, then forget about them.

There is an old cultural maxim, Let the name of the evil doer be forgotten.  Let there be no memory of the evil doer, and a rededication of society to do what is right and just.
