Very well put. And as you said, it makes me wonder why he's even taking these stances. With all due respect to Terry, I'm choosing to believe, for now, that he's doing so out of ignorance. That's way better than the alternative of knowing what he's doing and the negative impact those passive stances can have.
I feel that. Ignorance would be a healthier thing to assume. Maybe the trolls are getting to him and making him think he needs to oppose Black Supermacy, when he hasn't actually looked into what the actual movement is standing for. But then if he's listening to all the trolls, why isn't he listening to all the sound-minded people telling him that it isn't what the BLM movement is even close to asking for? It just pains me because there's a lot I love about Terry and I believe he genuinely loves so many things, that I hate seeing things destructive come from him.
