Friends I told about some of my recent opinions and articles warned me against sharing them publicly for fear that I might get canceled.

Instead, they elicited near universal agreement.

(Have a look at the ratio between likes and responses here.)
The number of people who believe it's fine to fire people for imaginary offenses, or that people like diAngelo help make this country a better place, is very small.

Don't let them dictate the conversation.

Don't let them hijack the great cause of anti-racism for their purposes.
As I've argued before, any good writer must be willing to endure public censure. If you never get ratio'd, you might just be a coward.

But right now a lot of people hesitate to share opinions that are both humane and popular.

Stand by your convictions!
