Respectfully, I get the sentiment from where this advice comes, but honestly, you have to be able to look yourself in the mirror each morning, tenure or not. As Lorde reminds us, your silence will not protect you. Ppl don't act after tenure if they didn't before.

Sure, C-Hebdo has every right to publish its attempts at satire. And I have the right to conclude that a magazine that considers black people being suffocated to death a joke, sees racism as a currency it can monetize from a readership which is tolerant of & titillated by racism
