Black Americans have been putting up with this BS for a long time and it is now becoming mainstream. This is what happens when we ignore what happens to any group of people, it spreads.

Why don't people ever learn that we must stand up for everyone before it grows? You would think that even aside from the morality of letting anyone suffer, people might realize it may include any of us one day.

I have been using the same rationale at work when people tell me they like Trump. 'Until it is you he is bullying' is my standard reply. So far it has worked like a charm.
