Thursday’s questions were:
1. Who said:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.?
2. Who wrote To Kill A Mocking Bird?
3. It’s intolerant in French, bacchettone in Italy, intolerante in Spanish and upoko mārō in Maori, what is it in English (hint, the answer is a noun not an adjective).
4. Why was Rosa Parks arrested in 1955?
5. Is there a place for positive discrimination?
Points for answers:
Will got four, a nearly for #3 and a bonus for making a valid point.
Andrei wins a virtual chocolate cake with a clean sweep.
Grant got four (and intolerant was too easy which is why I noted I was looking for a noun).
Answers follow the break:
1. Martin Niemöller.
2. Harper Lee.
3. Bigot.
4. She refused to surrender her seat on a bus to a white person.
5.

Hi,
I thought Rosa Parks was more it was the White persons’ part of the bus rather than anyone else wanting the seat?
