15. I am finding this spectacle rather ridiculous

I do not think the mother should be called out for past perceived social transgressions.

I do not think her posting the video is in any way related to her views on race etc.

I don't believe her views on race, or the stances she has taken publically in the past disqualify her from having an opinion on the subject of bullying, nor do they diminish her Son's message.

I do believe that the proper focus should be on her Son and what he has been experiencing and wants to try to help change in society as a whole.

That said, I get it, I just don't like the way it seems to be playing out.
