Children will remember moments spent with you. However, it isn't togetherness that creates humane parents and righteous kids. It is the example of integrity that a parent sets and the on going lessons they teach about compassion toward others throughout their lives. A good father or mother teaches their children that cruelty is not something you cause or ignore, rather it is the moment you suit up for war.","author":"Shannon L.

Therefore, this conflict should be intervened seriously and violators of this act of hate crime should get punished and understand deeply about the significance of human existence, so they can get pressured to change and act morally.","author":"Saaif Alam","tags":["civil-rights","education"],"id":2550,"author_id":"Saaif+Alam"},{"text":"The 20th Century proved that there is nothing more dangerous to the health of ethnic minority communities than big government.","author":"A.E.

They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.","author":"Audre Lorde","tags":["change","civil-rights","discrimination","equality","fear","homophobia","political","prejudice","racism"],"id":5155,"author_id":"Audre+Lorde"},{"text":"The missing link between humans and apes?

So however difficult it is during this period, however difficult it is to continue to live with the agony and the continued existence of racism, however difficult it is to live amidst the constant hurt, the constant insult and the constant disrespect, I can still sing we shall overcome. We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.We shall overcome because Carlisle is right. 'No lie can live forever.' We shall overcome because William Cullen Bryant is right. 'Truth crushed to earth will rise again.' We shall overcome because James Russell Lowell is right. 'Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.'   Yet that scaffold sways the future. We shall overcome because the Bible is right.  'You shall reap what you sow.' With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to speed up the day when all of God's children all over this nation - black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, 'Free at Last, Free at Last, Thank God Almighty, We are Free At Last.","author":"Martin Luther King Jr.","tags":["america","civil-rights","freedom","hope","justice","love","race-relations","racism","united-states","united-states-of-america","us","usa"],"id":13473,"author_id":"Martin+Luther+King+Jr."},{"text":"Tolerance of intolerance enables oppression.","author":"DaShanne Stokes","tags":["bias","biases","civil-rights","civil-rights-movement","civil-rights","discriminating","discrimination","discrimination","human-rights","human-rights-violations","intolerance","intolerance","lgbt","lgbt-rights","lgbtq","lgbtqia","oppression","oppression","prejudice","prejudices","privilege","privileged","privileges","race","racism","racist","rights","tolerance","tolerance"],"id":16927,"author_id":"DaShanne+Stokes"},{"text":"Tolerance of intolerance enables oppression.","author":"DaShanne Stokes","tags":["bias","biases","civil-rights","civil-rights-movement","civil-rights","discriminating","discrimination","discrimination","human-rights","human-rights-violations","intolerance","intolerance","lgbt","lgbt-rights","lgbtq","lgbtqia","oppression","oppression","prejudice","prejudices","privilege","privileged","privileges","race","racism","racist","rights","tolerance","tolerance"],"id":16927,"author_id":"DaShanne+Stokes"},{"text":"If not now, then when?","author":"John E.
