Who says this quote and what does it mean?

"They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do it - seems that only children weep.” (Ch. 22)

Atticus tiredly says this when he returns home immediately after he has lost the case.

  It is obvious that Robinson has been declared guilty simply because he is black, and Jem cries angry tears over the wrongful conviction.  

Atticus is at a loss to reply to Jem's question, "How could they do it, how could they?"  

All he knows is that adults continue to perpetuate the system of inequality and oppression with all kinds of ridiculous justifications, refusing to accept the simple fact that it is neither right nor fair. 

 It is only the children ( the innocent) who seethe truth clearly, and are sad ( weep ) because of it.
