Hey. There might be a difference.

Theirs are specific demands for reform, for bettering. If you continue half-measures? If you continue on in the name of "compromise"? If you let those who you know and have proven themselves in bad faith continue to write the rules and say "meet me in the middle" as they continue to take steps back, then it's not enough, and more die. And more are driven down to poverty and left voiceless. And this happens all over again.

Yours are "condemn him". "Condemn her." And for what? Your approval? Will you finally commit to supporting BLM if I condemn that bad actor? How about the next one? How many is required? Or is it just "We'll see"?

Like seriously, the most anyone can hope for if they do condemn is that you stop posting, wait for the next thing to latch onto to take away the legitimacy of the argument, and then we start all over again.

I don't see how you can equate the demands of bad faith centrists who would just wish we could all do nothing and forget about it with the demands of people who have been fighting for their entire time in this country for equality.

Then again, maybe I can see how you keep making those leaps.

I'm equating the responses from people who feel like they are doing their part and being told with ever increasing severity that the part they're doing isn't enough. If you find it exhausting having to condemn bad actions, then you can probably understand why someone who also condemns bad actions but is now being told in the New York Times that they need to do significantly more might also feel that way.
