It was purported to be from Germany in the 1930s - it isn't, it was coined a couple years ago.

But it is still true.

"If you see one Nazi speaking and ten people listening quietly, you are looking at eleven Nazis"

Nazis had around 1/3 of the vote when they took control of Germany. Nazis gonna nazi. And millions of people chose to "not see".

"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice [...]"

I have a name for white people who try to create the absence of tension around them, in order to concentrate on the things that are important in their personal lives. I call them Gemini's. They seek harmony and calm, so they avoid conflict. They are not necessarily racists, but for them, not talking about racial issues is equivalent to being racially sensitive.
