One is currently the face of the BLM movement in the hockey world, the other is a willfully ignorant anonymous poster. Only so many people can reply to a comment like his and condone it in hopes that he can be open to educating himself
I'd like to think a lot more posters here would be more upset with what magnum said vs what Aliu said, I don't really see them as part of the same discussion

I see what you're saying. I guess part of my point is that it's easier to criticise someone for not having the conversation the right way, than it is to actually have the conversation yourself. It's easy to criticise Aliu, but who of his critics are having the conversations the right way when the opportunity presents itself? I certainly see more of the former than the latter. Aliu might be a high profile guy, but it's no more his duty to have the conversations than it is any of us. He's simply taken it upon himself to do so, so to criticise him for the way he does it when few of us even bother in the first place doesn't sit well with me.
