It's a quote from the movie Blazing Saddles mocking bigotry, in this case to say "Suppression is bad unless WE do it" is s hypocritical and wrong approach - and in fact it's the exact mentality of people who currently want to suppress gay, trans, etc. which to them are as "obviously evil" as nazis.
