Every now and then someone criticizes activism and says that they prefer to achieve respect and equality by simply practicing quiet dignity in their day-to-day living.
I would appreciate it if such people give me examples of outcast groups that achieved equality of opportunity by practicing quiet dignity in their day-to-day existence.
Did slavery end because slaves practiced quiet respect and lead such dignified lives that the plantation owners decided to let them all go free.?
Did women get the right to vote by such being good and dutiful mothers and wives that the husbands decided that such good and gentle people should be allowed to vote?
Did lynching and because blacks behaved in such a dignified manner that whites decided they did not want to destroy their dignity by linching them?
I could go on but I am anxious to hear how quiet dignity gave outcast groups the right to full participation in society.
Are people prepared to argue that if illegal aliens would live in quiet dignity people would stop complaining about them being in the United States?
Yours truly,
