What does The laws of changeless justice bind Oppressor with oppressed and close as sin and suffering joined you march to fate abreast mean?
These lines were spoken by Booker T. Washington in his famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech. They mean that the fate of the oppressor is bound together with those whom he oppresses. In the speech, he mentions how the oppressed negro people will become a dead weight on white society. If they will lift up their black brothers, they themselves will be lifted up. But if they continue in their "sin," then the "suffering" will come to them as well.
As an example, he mentions the amount of crime committed by blacks in the South, a result (he posits) of their oppression. If you would not be scared of the criminal, remove from him the purpose of his crime. One will always fear the person, or people, he is grinding under his heel. One need not fear a brother.
