I know Whoopi read the Martin Niemöller poem/saying at the Oscars (or maybe it was the Grammys). My google-foo is weak and I can’t find it online. It must be somewhere. Any ideas?
Here is the famous version, although Pastor Niemöller may have used several different versions and this one might be assembled from multiple sources:
First 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 for me
