We’ve all come across ‘ism’s
-racism, sexism, age-ism, other ‘ism’s.
We hear a comment
and don’t know how to respond.
“The most powerful thing
we can do
to earn respect
from those around us, though,
is to call out one of our own
when he crosses the line.
“People like us,
we don’t do things like that.”
This is when real change
starts to happen,
and when others start to believe
that we really care
about something more
than scoring points.”
Responding IS a must
because, by saying nothing,
we’re giving that person
permission to continue saying it.
She thinks she’s representing us.
Tell people when they cross the line.
