He who is without sin... How hard did the American population try to help the Native Americans when their fellow Americans tried their best to massacre the Native Americans? How many of them hid NA's in their homes and fought against their countrymen? How hard did the American population try to help the blacks when they were enslaved? How many of them hid blacks in their homes and fought against their countrymen? How hard did the American population try to help their Japanese citizens when the US government locked them up in camps? How many of them hid Japanese in their homes and raided those camps to free their Japanese fellow citizens? How hard did the American population try to help their blacks when racism reared its ugly head? How many of them protected the blacks and fought against the racists? How hard did the American population try to join the fight against terrorism after planes crashed into the WTC and the Pentagon last year? From all I have seen and heard, not all that many in every single one of those cases. First they went after the Native Americans, but I did nothing because I was not a Native American. Then they enslaved the blacks, but I did nothing because I was not black. Then they went after our Japanese citizens, but I did nothing because I was not Japanese. Then they went after the blacks again, but I did nothing because I was not black. Then the terrorists attacked us in their own country, but rather than go out and fight, I hid in my basement because I was too chicken too fight. Then finally they came after me, but by then there was nobody left who cared.
