Why are there so many protest and riots in this country today? Because the majority condones the behavior. "What?," you say. "I don’t condone it." Yes, you do.
The very definition of condone is to accept and allow behavior that is morally wrong or offensive to continue. Even illegal activity is condoned today. In other words, if you condone something, you allow it, approve of it, or at least can live with it.
Plato, a philosopher in Classical Greece, the founder of the Academy in Athens which was the first institution of higher learning in the western world, said, "your silence gives consent."
Is that what you mean to say?
