I do.
They have had little problem calling for somebody to resign for an offensive costume he wore 35 years ago but expressed desire for actual physical violence and wanting to take names for the purpose of life long stigmatization NOW, the silence is deafening.
So I quess the unwritten social rules of 2019 are this. If a person wears something deemed or actually racist it is ok to either threaten or wish harm on them, as long as you never ever wore anything or said anything actually deemed racist yourself. Got it.
“Don’t judge somebody by the way they look” or “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”, do these need to be erased from history or is it ok to put them in a museum? Same question for the idea that people are redeemable.
