More likely you’re projecting some made up grievance you have onto the motivations of other people, and while people really do have that sympathy they don’t really know the right words to express it so they really in cliché and platitudes they have heard elsewhere.

I don’t think most adults are going to feel the need to eat crow because they were sympathetic for what someone is going through before understanding some of the reasons that person may be going through it. It doesn’t cost you anything to have empathy, and sometimes you have it for people who end up not deserving it, and that’s OK, too.

Kylington himself expressed empathy for Dube and offered his support. Who is going to go out and demand he eat crow or consider him an asset for it? He spoke based on what he knew.
