People are writing posts calling Stan Richards brave.

How fucking dare you call that man “brave” after the way he himself spoke about his racist remarks in the interview to the Texas Monthly.

I’m over this LinkedIn nonsense of people trying to be important and sharing their “take” when there’s nothing at all smart about it.

How about instead we write about analyzing why it was so wrong? How we change our own systems so we stop perpetuating and defending this behavior?

Stockholm syndrome?

Jokes aside, people are really wanting to avoid accepting that what Stan said was that the campaign was too Black and it would alienate white supremacists. Stan and everyone supporting him are intentionally leaving out the second part of that statement. If you remove the part where he’s actually defending a hate group’s feelings then it sounds like Stan is only making a very distasteful marketing recommendation. But the truth is he really meant to defend white supremacists above the importance of showcasing much needed Black representation.

White fragility is real and most people who have defended him cannot accept the fact that systemic racism exists. A lot of people find it easy to defend Stan under the justification that they’re standing for his 600 employees.
And, yes. Everyone feels bad and sad for them. There are plenty of people who work hard and don’t deserve to lose their job. But that has nothing to do with the fact that Stan did say racist remarks out loud and then is now pretending it to be a matter of not being able to trust your employees.
Not condemning Stan equates to saying that racism is right under certain circumstances. Not condemning Stan means being ok with a status quo where White privilege is alive and well.

Sorry, but being deeply moved and sorry for the people who may lose their jobs doesn’t mean that a racist White man gets a pass.
