relate to the Pyramid of Hate?

We all want to be understood. Discrimination and hate is shown differently. First it was shocking, then it was surprising and then just disappointing. The best thing that people can do is put in the effort, you have to do it. It starts in your house. Speak up but also learn. Be curious. You can easily do it as well. We have to be consistent day to day, not every other week, not every other month. Not when something is tragic. Lean into the discomfort. If you see something, say something - an alternative way to report. We exist together comfortably, without judgment.
