Speak out

Its a photo day today. 

i have been outraged by the hate filled speech directed towards Muslims that is spreading around the US and hope most reading this blog will speak out against it.

Years ago a friend of mine asked me to call out whoever was doing it whenever i encountered racism or the targeting of some group through the use of hate. 

Speaking out can be uncomfortable. You upset the balance. You might make some folks angry for making them face up to their prejudices. Some may want to just let things slide in order to keep the peace, but keeping the peace and not speaking out was what led to Nazi Germany. 

As my friend said, “If you don’t ask people to speak out they won’t.” So i’m asking all of you reading this blog to please speak out against the dehumanizing rhetoric being directed at Muslims as a group.

Thats all the pleading i’m doing today. The rest will be photos.
