I agree that Dunlap probably wants Mike Brown to do more than release a statement and make a monetary donation.

It's not that hard a concept to grasp. Speaking out against racism is fine and helps. Constantly speaking out against racism over and over again does nothing more than the original speaking out did.

For example, we have all these protests going on all over the country (speaking of the PROTESTS not the rioting). Has anything meaningful been done about police brutality? Not really, no. If people kept on protesting, would anything change in that regard? No, not until those in power make meaningful changes. Awareness only goes so far. In order to enact change, people need to DO something beyond just saying "racism is bad".
