I didnt say any of them were fine in context. My point was, that the context made each quote mean a different thing. Rather than just being blanket statements about race or gender or whatever.

Hate the man for who he was, not for what some ragebait heavily edited clip told you he was.

  No, it wasnt. Thats the point of context. You want to hate him, I have no issue with that. I dont really like him either. But the difference between us is that I hate him for who he actually was, you hate him based on twitter posts that were meant to monetise your outrage. We are not the same.

    yeah you’re some child, who’s obsessed with someone getting something that they may have not earned, because you say so.
    
    or you’re an adult who’s blaming their mediocre life on minorities getting opportunities.
    
    either way it’s just sad.
