Please don't judge us by the action of one who is obviously an idiot. There are a few people in this world that speak before thinking. Stay Safe.

Walmart is not exclusive to TV, so that “fine” gentleman may not have been from TV.

confronting intolerance
I disagree that you should just walk away. When the real Nazis started talking that way about Jews, good people just walked away. What was despicable became acceptable, and it turned out badly. If you have the courage, you should confront that kind of speech. Racism and religious bigotry are not okay. There will always be raciest, bigots, and homophobs but we can't let them own the public space.

Another Steve
I think you nailed it once and for all. I don’t know if I would have had the self control to confront this moron if I heard him address someone like that! Dad used to say “treat others as you would like to be treated yourself”.

What would you have really done?

So, what would you have done? Escalate the incident into a heated shouting match? Punched his lights out (you are now the aggressor in an assault and would be arrested)? You also stated, "if you have the courage". If you were questioning my courage and not speaking in general terms, then I will tell you I proudly served 6 years in the Navy during the Vietnam era and have the medal to prove it, I have walked alone and unarmed thru streets of Philippines, Mauritius, Angola, Senegal, and other places that would scare the pants off most sane people. Question my beliefs, my political leaning or my choice of food if you want. As too my courage, think what you will. It really doesn't matter to me. Stay safe. Stay well. Calm down. Peace! |

I would call it ignorant. He doesn't know the difference between a mask for protection or an item worn because of a person's beliefs.
