There are a few variables for me. When I worked Cust Svcs I usually let it roll of my back. You want to talk ill of my mother? Knock your self out. The only thing that would really get me going is racial/ethnic/religious comments. If I am a customer and I see another patron being a prick either being rude or making any comments referring to religion .. etc. then I will step and say something. I have nothing to loose so why not. People need to be told that that their actions can effect others. By remaining silent we tacitly condone their actions.

There is a quote in the Holocaust museum in Washington DC that has been quoted many times before but it goes like this:

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Pastor Martin Niemöller

To me the bottom line is if we do not speak out when we see someone belittling another, one day it may be us and no one will speak on our behalf.

My advise …. DON’T BE SILENT!
