(4,516 posts)for, who did nothing so egregious that it warrants his resignation, trumps your feelings! There needs to be some sense of proportion in the calling of someone so racist that you get to decide their fate based on how you feel about it.
David Duke is one extreme and the Governor is at the other. Black face and lynching are racist but not in the same proportion.
Good people have done minor bad things in their lives. Some have made apologies. But it is wrong to deny society the benefit of there goodness today because of it.
Sometimes I think people need to get over themselves. And if you label me racist, I don't give shit. It means nothing to anybody who knows or lives with me or has ever spent time with me in my 72 years.
The rest of the world does not have to measure up to your standard.
