Rawiri Waititi's facebook post is unacceptable

[Lilith7]

"Appeasement means giving people what they want to prevent them from harming you or being angry with you."

Exactly.  Backing down instead of acting from a position of strength, no respect gained by doing that.

"He had a real sense of fairness and hated injustice"

If only the world was like that.

Redressing past wrongs is the right thing to do; it seems to work far better than pretending nothing happened. 

Nobody is being 'appeased' but rather, past actions are being atoned for & some attempt to right those wrongs is now being made.
