Goldie Taylor lectures Nicholas Kristof for suggesting protesters focus less on Michael Brown

As Twitchy reported earlier, an internecine Twitter feud broke out between New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and New York Times editorial writer Brent Staples after Kristof suggested the #BlackLivesMatter movement might have been better served by focusing on Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old shot and killed by police in Cleveland, rather than Michael Brown.

Staples responded that it wouldn’t have mattered, because a “healthy majority” of whites support the actions of police in cases where blacks are killed.

Kristof did his best to clarify, but Twitter wasn’t having it.

The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates wasn’t the only one to weigh in on Kristof’s initial tweet.

All of this gives Kristof a great idea for a column.
