I don't want to argue numbers with you; it is obvious that we get our stats from different sources.
I mean that's like all Christan who don't go out and protest the KKK are supporting racism in this country.
Yes, that is exactly what I mean. So long as people turn their backs, refuse to speak up, to speak out, abuses will continue.
I think this is as relevant today as it was 65 years ago:
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a communist; Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a socialist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak out for me. …Pastor Martin Niemöller, 1945
