First they came for the Hispanics and Latinos - Variations on Niemoller First they came for the Hispanics and Latinos , and I did not speak out— Because I was not Hispanic or Latino. Then they came for the Muslims and the Jews , and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Muslim or a Jew. Then they came for all Immigrants and their children, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an Immigrant. Then they came for all people of color, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a person of color . Then they attacked the Women, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Woman. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Based on the original poem by Niemoller posted at the US Holocaust Museum .

Today you have a choice. You can be bombarded by anger on Facebook and social media or you can choose to live your life without hate speech . How can you do this? We all have them on our Facebook, Twitter , and social media feeds. Friends, groups, and politicians posting angry memes and hate speech each day. But you don't have to listen to this anymore. All you have to do is UNFOLLOW. We don't want to lose our friends over differences. Then we'd just be lemmings, or clones. And who wants to be a lemming? Not me. But we can choose to UnfollowHate speech today. So next time a friend or politician or group posts up something that you know is hateful and untrue, go to their page and UNfollow them. This way you can save your friendship and stop the abuse. Because you have better things to do with your time than be a part of the hate. #UnFollowHate @dalatindiva http://sabrinapenayoung.blogspot.com/
