@ijbailey @RTodKelly @CHSommers I am addressing the content and impact of the tweet rather than whether it is well-meaning, because the fact that it's racism is well-meaning doesn't change its wrongheadedness or harm. I don't think the author is a villain. I do think the thought expressed is pernicious nonsense — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @ggreenwald @RichardHanania You're effectively adopting the same argument as law and order folks when the guy gets sentenced to life for stealing a loaf of bread. *Why don't you care about all the crime that plagued the community prior to that act and informed how heavily this thief was punished?* — PolitiTweet.org
