when they speak on issues involving race?
As members of the historically and presently victimized community, aren't they in a far better position to do so than their detractors? As high profile members of that community don't they have a duty to do so?
It's kinda analogous to women who have been victimized by domestic violence demanding silence on the part of those who while not victims themselves, are seeking to end it.
"Please don't make my husband feel like the jackass he is by bringing public attention to the problem!".
It's almost like they think that silence is gonna make the problem go away or something, or like they should be able to prescribe what is or is not an acceptable level of attention and the rhetoric choices used to achieve it.
