Yeah, some may be silent for the wrong reasons. But some have very good, pressing reasons, & sometimes we will never know thathttps://twitter.com/ADMedievalist/status/1172303843159367680 …
I think the issue is that critiquing a "call-Out" rather than wondering what are the conditions for these things, the power dynamics, and why, and also what are the coalitions who are organizing to say enough, what does that mean than saying the act of calling out is a problem?

Mary is an independent scholar, she did it this w/ no compensation, no institutional resources, w/ her own health, well-being, mental health, and money on the line to do the work to change this white supremacist boat. She is also a BIWOC. So, consider that.

So if we are calling out to support an independent scholar who has put all of those things listed on the line in order to help change a white supremacist org, I really find then some critique that our support is the problem a huge issue.
