It's Not Right...




It is not right, my fellow countrymen, you who know very well all the crimes committed in our name, it's not at all right that you do not breathe a word about them to anyone, not even to your own soul, for fear of having to stand in judgment of yourself. I am willing to believe that at the beginning you did not realize what was happening; later, you doubted whether such things could be true; but now you know, and still you hold your tongues.

~ From Jean-Paul Sartre's "Preface" to Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth.
