being to say something. And that includes the growing number of racists who feel empowered because of trump.
I hope other people do this too and I hope if some are not doing it that they start, if you are uncomfortable saying something you can always apologize to that person for the OTHER person's behavior after they leave or to say something like, "I'm sorry that happened to you. That person is just ignorant".
I know plenty of people do this already. But it bothers me to hear people say, "It's not my business" I believe it is our business to look out for one another.

(41,818 posts)The bigots have been emboldened by the Trump Administration. I have seen calls for "White Power" and other such Nazi crap tossed about. My own twitter account has received messages which I have sent on to their administration and reported. I will not repeat the name calling I have received, but I am sure you can probably guess. Told to "go the fuck back to China" etc.
