RFK

What if God is black?
"Was Stalin black? Was Hitler black? Who killed 40 million people just 25 years ago? It wasn't black people, it was white...Let no man think he fights this battle for others. He fights for himself, and so do we all. The golden rule is not sentimentality, but the deepest practical wisdom. The teaching of our time is that cruelty is contagious, and its disease knows no bounds of race or nation."
"Practical wisdom" means understanding the "First they came..." parable. Along with some Adam Smith.  Also, why if you have a brain in your head torture should be frowned upon.
