I do not want Josey Ross facilitating any social justice where I am involved. Tina Fey is well known for very subtle, layered satire. I will expect my "social justice facilitator" to easily comprehend a subtle and nuanced method of communicating. Otherwise I will move on to another facilitator.

Josey Ross writes, "Ms. Fey concluded with this piece of advice for those wishing to stand up to demonstrations by white supremacists: "Don't show up." At best, this is failed satire. At worst, it echoes and reinforces the calls from too many well-intentioned white people to just ignore racists and they'll go away."

I understood Ms. Fey differently from facilitator Ross. I heard Tina's empathy and compassion for Americans' pain and outrage at seeing Charlottesville and the agonizing helplessness that many feel. Further, the display of dysfunctional eating clearly expresses the futility of such a passive, self destructive response to this a national outrage. That irony recommends action.
