"Quand la justice est niée où la pauvreté est imposée où l'ignorance prévaut et où une quelconque classe est amenée à ressentir que la société est une conspiration organisée pour les opprimer les voler et les dégrader ni les personnes ni les biens ne seront"

Frederick Douglass

Simplified Meaning:

When people are treated unfairly, made to be poor, kept uneducated, and feel like the system is set up to keep them down, everyone is at risk. Think of a school where only some kids get good teachers and supplies, while others don’t. The kids who are neglected might feel angry or hopeless and act out, causing trouble for everyone. Over time, this can lead to a lot of problems, making the school unsafe for all students and staff. Similarly, in society, if only a few people have opportunities and respect, while others suffer, it can lead to bigger issues, like crime or unrest, impacting both individuals and society as a whole. For a peaceful community, everyone should be treated fairly and have a chance for a good life. Thus, it's important to ensure fairness, provide education, reduce poverty, and treat everyone with respect to keep society stable and safe.
