Similar to that old saying about there being a difference between being nice and being good.

Not all nice people are good, and sometimes good people aren't nice.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice."

Martin Luther King, Jr. , Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963)

I am no longer "nice". I'm loud and in their face. Neighbor called the cops on me for calling him a fascist and telling him to get his fat-ass Nazi wife to STFU. If I could only go off on these MAGA assholes at work. At least I have zero problem letting my coworkers know where I stand.
