Thanks to the inspiration of Martin Niemoller’s “First they Came for the Communists”:
First they came for the African-Americans, and I did not speak out because I was not an African-American. Then they came for the Muslims and I did not speak out because I was not a Muslim. Then they came for the Mexican-Americans and I did not speak out because I was not a Mexican-American. Then they came for the other Latinos and I did not speak out because I was not a Latino. Then they came for the immigrants and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the LBGT and I did not speak out because I was not LBGT. But, they never came for me because I am white so I did not need to speak out. I am so lucky to be white and in America.
