Well, Obdicut, most rational beings do not embrace your absolutist criteria.

Motivations and behavior are rarely subject to such stark criteria as you present.

I recognize, however, that it is a natural human tendency to present caricatures of persons we regard as our political opponents — and to pretend that they have utterly no redeeming qualities because their motives are always based upon malice.

Apparently, you prefer that kind of cartoon depiction. Perhaps if you had an opportunity to sit down and talk with someone whose views differed from yours — you might discover that honorable and decent men and women can arrive at diametrically opposite positions.

Someday, perhaps you will adopt a position which is controversial and requires interpretation of your motives or values. If your critics declare that your position can only originate from ignoble or malicious attributes—-then perhaps you might want to re-visit this exchange.

Uncritical acceptance of white privilege is racist.

So is opposite to equal civil rights for blacks.

On those grounds, the JBS was racist.
