The Yale tactics may lose them friends, but the anything to do with discrimination will greatly appeal to private organizations sense of PR and legal liability at some juncture.

This is my problem with all the "isms" in the word regarding various forms of discrimination. We've created this mindset that an organization or a person falls into the "bigot-binary". Either you are bigoted, or you're not. In all honesty? Very few people (and institutions) live in those extremes. Most live somewhere in the middle. It's a gradient, not a status.

But society doesn't see it that way, and when issues cross into various PR or legal matters - the courts and the public don't either. And sometimes to good effect. Actually, often to good effect.

But there's no dam on this river. The side fighting for "justice" can easily go overboard and still be seen as righteous. Because little is more harmful in todays world as being tarred and feathered as some common bigot for having a dissenting view on a given topic (thus you're an evil hate monger), or you're an institution that doesn't do anything to control the uncontrollable. I dunno - it gets to a point it just loses all sense.

When you're attacking life-long allies who've put the work in, put their effort and money where his mouth was his whole fucking life, and for a bunch of BLM college kids who've never worked a job harder than cleaning food trays 10 hours a week at the campus diner...all because he's just another white man to them, that's when it's all just kinda looped back around. Up until that point, i argued and debate FOR BLM. At this juncture, they can all get fucked. If they don't want help - fuck em, let em fend for themselves.
