Perhaps she should be given the benefit of the doubt? People that have never met her and are making a leap that she stood next to or even god forbid even holds a confederate flag makes her this raging racist, and their righteous flailing indignation is going to cause more harm to her kid then her.

I mean even going by her husbands tattoo's and his incarceration, he's probably a racist, but that doesn't really make her one, but we're so quick to condemn people by association.

The Judge, jury and executioner mentality of the internet combined with the I can do, say or manufacture anything that I want because I'm shielded from the real world consequences is what's wrong with the Internet and takes it so far from the glorious vision of its creation.

Like everything else, people are the reason why we can't have nice things.
