I agree....
There is a tendency even among well intended liberals to fall for the "underdog" motif. While nobody likes a bully, the problem with time itself, is that history shifts and powers change, and humans regardless of that shift behave in a predictable manor. It is normal to want to protect the small, the weak and the oppressed. But that well intended mentality never takes into account that times change, and once the abused can become the abuser.
Give any given group enough time and power, while they can have good intent in the short term, they can lose sight of the past when they become the majority long term.
Point is, labels are nothing. A hero now can become a bully in the future.
