This is complete and utter bull****, everything you're posting points towards being upset that racism is being dealt with harshly these days. It's infuriating to read. ****ing black eye strips for football, painting your face green. Screw off with these comparisons.
Knock yourself out if you want to do them and don't argue in poor faith that we should look at getting rid of these absurd hypotheticals as a way to muddy and degrade the serious discussion surrounding racial abuse and intolerance.
It's transparent and horse**** and quite frankly insulting our intelligence the way you're trying to frame this. You don't like that racist acts are a huge deal now a days when they weren't always, and you're voicing your opinion, be genuine, be a man about it. This wishy washy "oh but what about this" is just weak and stupid.
