noun: scapegoat

  • a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, and may be shunned or cast away for the perceived wrongdoings.
  • (in the Bible) a goat cast into the wilderness after the chief priest had laid the sins of the people upon it (Leviticus. 16).

“To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.”

I am one of those few.
