Are you an enabler of hate? [View all]
Think about that for a moment.
What do you do if you hear a homophobic joke? A homophobic slur? A racist joke? A racist slur? A misogynist joke? A misogynist slur? (or even a joke or slur against women in general (from someone you know & trust)? There are many more that can be listed here, but these three seem to be the main one's, but you can apply them to all.
If you say nothing for whatever reasons, or go with the flow not to cause any waves, you enable Gay bashing, supremacist, rapists, women beaters & so on. If you stand up against one but not the others, you enable all.
There are no excuses as to why one would keep quiet on any instance of hate unless of course deep down you in one way or another agree with what was said.
Silence equals death, it happens everyday that people die are discriminated against beaten, raped, made to feel useless for no other reason than ignorance & bigotry. I learned this first hand very recently.
In closing I will leave you with this you are either part of the solution or part of the problem, there is no middle ground.
Go in peace.
