No, not just Wex. You've said some excellent stuff there in your post. I was mentally applauding as I read it.

My concern is that even among our chosen group, if we see someone we care about being clueless, do we take the time to call them on it? I'd hope that people would do this for me, but do I return the favor? Do I trust them and our friendship enough to say things that might not be welcome at the outset, but might help my friend grow?

I think I might be more on the receiving end of something like that; I don't often have the clue to see when my friends are being clueless. But I hope that we can grow in directions that allow us to be ready to step up to that plate. Like you said, we all like to think that we're generally good people. I suspect that the folks who are spewing hate think that they are good people too. Maybe that's a starting point of commonality?
