She’s a person who made a mistake in judgment....Portraying Dr. Tweedy was fine,  wearing blackface to do so, was clearly not.  She has acknowledge her mistake and made what I feel is a sincere, heartfelt apology.  May I suggest few of us (likely none) have never made mistakes; have never said “wow, I’d like to take back that comment” or felt “geez, I should have known better than to have done that!”  We’re all imperfect, we all “screw up.” Ms. Shurtz is imperfect, she “screwed up.”  Those who are condemning her shout “Maybe it was foolish, but she should have know better!” They need to a) remember, doing something you should have “known better” than to do is the very definition of a foolish act, b) ask themselves if they’ve ever been foolish and, importantly, c) remember if they sought (and hopefully received) forgiveness for their foolish act.
