(865 posts)then off limits. I do not know exactly what has been said about the boy. Have only seen references to negative comments about him. But a child is a child.
I have no idea what the boy's views and behaviors are or whether he -- or, instead, fans -- has/have racist things on FB ... and so forth. But for the sake of argument, even if he does (and he may not, but if), those words/behaviors reflect the adults around him.
Related to that ... Much research exists on the teen brain and how it is still forming into one's twenties. So, if he is just 10 or 11, even, then his even-younger impressionable brain has quite a ways to go.
And if, in the past, some repubs didn't care about negatives flung at Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, Sasha Obama, or Malia Obama, it shouldn't be yet another child pay the price.
