I want you to understand that racial justice is not about justice for those who are black or brown; racial justice is about American justice.

Justice is achieved only when injustice is absent.

Finally and long overdue, your people, oppressed and disgraced by hatred and maliciousness, have achieved justice: now you enjoy full citizen's rights, but you'll remain Jews nonetheless.

Mob justice is not justice. Justice sought by violence is not justice.
