Funny thing, isn't it, that they can be "offended" but the other 99.9% can't. Their hypocrisy really stood out when they panicked over the police threatening to no longer provide security.

You do have point here. But where else would they protest to get the attention that this matter does deserves? Racism is still a huge problem in the United States as well as elsewhere.
If a celebrity has a platform where they can really change hearts and minds for the better, then they should use it.
