    in texas they lynch negroes. my teammates and i saw a man strung up by his neck and set on fire. we drove through a lynch mob, pressed our faces against the floorboard. i looked at my teammates. i saw the fear in their eyes and, worse, the shame. what was this negro's crime that he should be hung without trial in a dark forest filled with fog. was he a thief? was he a killer? or just a negro? was he a sharecropper? a preacher? were his children waiting up for him? and who are we to just lie there and do nothing. no matter what he did, the mob was the criminal. but the law did nothing. just left us wondering, "why?" my opponent says nothing that erodes the rule of law can be moral. but there is no rule of law in the jim crow south. not when negroes are denied housing. turned away from schools, hospitals. and not when we are lynched. st augustine said, "an unjust law in no law at all.' which means i have a right, even a duty to resist. with violence or civil disobedience. you should pray i choose the latter.

    teksas'ta zencileri linc ediyorlar. takim arkadaslarim ve ben boynundan asilip, atese verilmis bir adam gorduk. bir linc grubunun icinden, yuzumuz arabanin zemininde gecmek zorunda kaldik. takim arkadaslarima baktim. gozlerindeki korkuyu gordum daha da kotusu utanci. sisler icindeki bir ormanda, durusma olmadan, asilmasi icin bu zencinin sucu neydi? hirsiz miydi? katil miydi? yoksa sadece zenci mi? maraba miydi? vaiz miydi? cocuklari onu bekliyorlar miydi? ve orada yerde uzanip yatan hic birsey yapmayan bizler kimlerdik? ne yapmis olursa olsun, suclu olan kalabalik idi. ama kanun birsey yapmadi. sadece bizleri ''neden'' diye dusundurdu. rakibim kanun kurallarini asindirmanin ahlaki olmadigini soyledi. ama jim crow guneyinde kanun kurallari yoktur. zencilerin barinmalari red edildiginde yoktur, okullardan, hastahanelerden geri cevirildiklerinde yoktur. ve bizler linc edilirken yoktur. aziz augustine : adil olmayan bir adalet, adalet degildir der. ve bu demek oluyor ki benim hakkim var, karsi koyma hakkim bile. siddet veya sivil itaatsizlik ile. ikincisini sectigim icin dua etmelisiniz.
