is very powerful.

If you don't talk about cancer, it does not miraculously go away. You have to aggressively treat it. And maybe you'll get sick, lose your hair, go broke or bankrupt... but maybe you'll win, and live. So fighting cancer is worthwhile.

Fighting racism is worthwhile. You will get a LOT of sh*t for it. But staying silent is death.
