If you are neutral in times of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

« Si vous êtes neutre dans les situations d'injustice, vous avez choisi le camp de l'agresseur. »

My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together

In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
