You know the call-out culture in this platform has gone waaay overboard when you continue to vilify a man who has already died. Yes, he was wrong to say those words. But he’s already dead. What more do you want? We can all be better than this. Smdh. Rest in peace, Carlos Celdran.

Only love and respect for Carlos Celdran. He was a freedom fighter .He was an influencer even before the term became popular. An example of courage and integrity who stood up to institutional oppression. A true patriot and a great loss to us all.@carlosceldran pic.twitter.com/adf6VEQHWb
