Even if I don't agree with the content of what someone says, I think it is a courtesy to show respect for their effort and sincerity in writing, by at least giving 20 or so claps...

I have been annoyed with the fact that you responded to many of my articles and that of Claire's today, with a desultory 5/8 claps. Why, when Clare has made the effort to write for a second time, 7 months after the horrific murder of the young black man, and has clearly taken the time to research the responsibilities and failures of the police and has really made a strong argument for the horror of lyncings to be continuing iin America, do you think you, (as a Black man who supports Black liberation) can come along and plop under 10 claps?

I appreciate your apology but when you receive 50 claps, (which I often give your well-researched articles) why don't you respond with a similar courtesy? On one occasion the comment you left was simply telling me to read your article !
