I don't want to defend him, I don't even like him. I just don't want to call him a racist without knowing more. He did X, therefore he is Y and all Y are Z. Isn't that the same sort of thinking that led to lynchings in the first place?
The tape makes him look pretty guilty, but when I watched it appeared to me that the reaction was so outlandish something must have provoked it. I don't know what, but I noticed nobody's came up with any plausible motive for his behaviour except that he's a barely constrained dyed-in-the-wool racist who just had to see a black man to be tipped over the edge.
Perhaps that's true, but do you manage to hide it on stage every night for all these years?
stop responding to racist trolls like nude spock, stetThis is what I mean! Christ, if you're not in the majority knee-jerk must-be-racist camp, you are a racist? What?

Of course not. I'm just saying I'm bothered by the confidence with which people are ascribing motivation in this scenario.

How should we ascribe motivation, John? If you can't get it from behavior, where shall we go to determine it?

Who tf cares what his motivation is? It's indifferent to me what flavor of racist he is, from common, garden variety clay-footed mere mortal to genocidal manaic. In this case, his behavior alone is contemptible and fatuous.

so you don't think that this is even slightly indicative of a problem? what kind of behavior would it take to alarm you? if it comes out that he ran into the audience with a rope and fork, would you change your mind?
