You misunderstand. I’m most definitely not disappointed in her “choice of platform,” but I am pointing out that we really have no evidence that the school counselor she called out actually had it coming. And if she didn’t, it’s a really, really shitty thing to do to a person who has apparently suffered horrible tragedy recently. I’m disappointed in the lack of empathy, and the ease with which we rush to tear people down that might not have it coming.
The difference is that we know with absolute certainty that the police brutality and institutionalized racism being protested by some NFL players did deserve to be called out.
