  • The irony of this comment is palpable.

    I presume that you are unfamiliar with the meme, so you don’t see the context of someone loudly proclaiming their outrage at something above and beyond something else, only to be pulled up by someone else pointing at the absurdity of considering the something else being treated as the lesser issue. Not contained in the image version is the first person turning to the second and rapidly disclaiming their apparent support (or lack of sanction) of the issue they can excuse.

    Given that such lack of care regarding things that do not effect them personally, it’s also an example of the lukewarm acceptance of the white moderate the King discussed in Birmingham. The idea that there are more important issues than the naked bigotry and we must deal with other issues first is the bewildering support that is more frustrating than the outright rejection.

    But, then, you should have some inkling of that, shouldn’t you? Given how much you had to demand nuance of those who question where you place your disdain in your edits.

    But, sure, let your takeaway be that I said you excused racism.
