Hell, Biden isn’t a minority but he’s a Dem, and he was constantly surprised from 2008 to today that republicans stopped treating him different than other Dems the second they no longer needed him.

Niemöller was initially an anti-Communist, anti-semite and supported Adolf Hitler. But when Hitler rose to power and insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller became disillusioned. He became the leader of a group of German clergymen opposed to Hitler.
In 1937 he was arrested and eventually confined in Sachsenhausen and Dachau. He was released in 1945 by the Allies. He continued his career in Germany as a cleric and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after World War II.
