In reply to the discussion: I'm Angry as Hell about Covington Shitballs, But Exactly What Can be Done? [View all]WhiskeyGrinder
(22,500 posts)22. My response:
1. Expose to whom? What would it look like to have that label "stick"?
2a. Are you in a position to provide a consequence? Are you in a position to influence those who are?
2b. Are you Native American? Many in the NA community are pushing back on the idea of community service on reservations, which can set up a mindset of white savior-ism or reinforce the idea that Native Americans are people who deserve only pity and charity, rather than fostering empathy.

There is a petition going around that might have some clout! I've included the URL for it.
