“Dealing with this MeToo and BLM stuff has me exhausted”, your white business partner says that and you don’t have a problem with it cool.
“Between LeBron James’s thoughts on BLM and Me Too, I’m exhausted”:
As cerebral as James is on these topics though, it is still a necessity for a person of his status to have a PR advisor. But, what do you do if that very same person is revealed to treat issues you care about, like nothing more than a chore?
LeBron James’s PR advisor gets caught saying he was “exhausted” about the player’s many social justice undertakings
Now to start off, we have to be fair to Adam Mendelsohn here. Any job in the world can get exhausting sometimes, even if it were to be one of your dreams. At the end of the day, if you do the same thing every day, over and over again, there is obviously going to be a monotony that sets in.
That said though, certain matters can’t be taken lightly. And unfortunately, in this case, that’s exactly what Mendelsohn did.
Adam Mendelsohn’s statement on his comments, even he knew how wrong he was:
In his first comments on the statements about Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, Mendelsohn told CNBC, "I made a stupid, careless comment rooted in privilege and I am sincerely sorry."
"I shouldn't have said it or even thought it," Mendelsohn said in an email.
"I work to support these movements and know that the people affected by these issues never get to be exhausted or have nothing left. I have to continue to check my privilege and work to be a better ally."

If you don’t have an issue with what he said then cool, most others do.
But we’re all entitled to our opinions.
