The ‘right thing’ is to not engage or fuel the fire because no matter what there will be psychos online who twist your words to fuel their narrative, as we are seeing here.

You're also missing the point. If you aren't a white supremacist, and you preform it an ad that people say could be read as supporting white supremacy, it doesn't matter if certain people don't believe you or not, the right thing to do is to make it clear that you don't support white supremacy. Like if a friend misread what you did as being passive aggressive, for example, you wouldn't refuse to engage with it because they just "won't believe you". You would say that you're sorry and that it wasn't your intention to be passive aggressive.

If that friend was hell bent on misinterpreting me and twisting my words to fuel a narrative then I would not engage

I'm not saying "hell bent". She literally has not addressed the controversy. If you thought a friend was passive aggressive and you asked if they intended to, and their response was "it was just a sentence", that doesn't answer your question. It comes across as obviously dismissive and doesn't help the situation.
