I mean, black people would have eaten up a white male who said what I did.”

“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
