Were you also critical of Jimmy Carter for building homes for habitat for humanity?
Because Carter helped build homes for decades after retirement without politicizing it or addressing the systemic causes.
Yes, because it's not enough. It's possible to acknowledge good work while also criticizing the ways that it falls short, otherwise we risk cheering for the drop-in-the-bucket charity that doesn't challenge the status quo and credulously thinking our problems are being solved when more needs to be done.
