Responding to Negative Feedback about Black Lives Matter
I expected a reaction when I discussed Black Lives Matter with my valued guest Junior Soma. Unfortunately, I knew negative feedback was likely. One comment was also somewhat racist.
My first thought was to delete it. It is my platform, and I should be able to decide what is communicated there.
Then I wanted to know what my Instagram community thought. I asked: should I ignore the negative feedback or respond and comment on it?
- 12 followers voted to ignore it.
- 16 voted to address it.
So I responded. You can find the comments beneath the YouTube video linked below.
