"The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls -- the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning." ~ Henry David Thoreau

The obvious moral of the story is that people should be prepared to defend themselves, not that diversity is bad or that dark skinned people are evil.
