Civil rights Quote by Abhijit Naskar
““In matters of human rights, ethics, morality, reason, righteousness, philosophy and theology, white people must be seen, not heard - unless you've proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, with every ounce of your existence, that you value humanity more than you value your faith, your intellect, your philosophy, and every aspect of your whitewashed identikit.””
