Live your values, even when those around you are being hateful. This isn't a complicated concept to understand. Bryce Harper has taken a very public stance against racism. Flaco Lopez has made public statements against racism too. They've both been attacked by their own fans for it. They both don't care. Because their principles are more important. ♥️👍🏿 Supposedly, USA loves to celebrate white Christian men that don't care what other people think, and that just speak their mind, even if they sometimes say the wrong thing. Then why don't we celebrate when they push in this direction?

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io "Don't let team peer pressure bully you into not living your values. Have the courage to be true to yourself.👍🏿" I think I'm generally open and positive about people, but the exception is experience has taught me that most people people are "nice" until they're "tested" in situations like this. And then the majority will turn out to be cowards. Especially people with the authority and responsibility to intervene, and the power to do so without real consequences to themselves.
