First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

This is MSNBC not-so-subtly warning their African-Americans viewers that they are next and that they better start voting for Dems. Even Dems have a quiet part they don't say out loud. Just calling them like I see them.

I fear for them, as some only have green cards. My best friend's parents are like family to me. I spent several years working in their Chinese restaurant, rented their basement to live after college, had them over to my daughter's birthday parties.
