Yes, call them all out. I feel your anger and I feel mine. I hear you. Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.
Also, please please please try to avoid going to Walmart. They are lousy employers, engaging in pretty nasty union-busting activities and employee surveillance. Walmart works hard to keep the minimum wage at or below poverty level. So much so that our taxes subsidize their employees' entitlements. Also, they have huge gun departments and turn a tidy profit from the mass murder industry.
I know and understand: often they are the only game in town because often they are. They've stamped out all competition.
If change is ever going to happen, we need to show up at the ballot box. We need to vote with our dollars as well.
When I was at Wal-Mart the other day, two young girls walked up to the gun counter and asked for a couple of boxes of ammunition. It was . . . disturbing.
Thanks for the response (and the poem above :) I think you're right--we just all need to start talking and keep talking. It's important to "see both sides" but it's also important to call out racism and injustice when we see it. Easier said than done.

I love this poem. It's the poem I read to my dad during his last week of life to try and ease his mind and let him know he could let go.
