A Quote by Lawrence Weiner
I think it's a waste of time to worry about the motives of why people are supportive of things. I think we should look at the thing itself. And if they're supportive of something that's sexist or racist, then it's a bad thing, but it's not because they're supportive of it that it's a bad thing.

As a friend, what I have to say to myself is . . .' Then say something supportive.
