Remember Omar Thornton?
Not till I looked it up. Horrible story, complete with subtext that the killings would have been “sorta” justified if the racism of the victims could be proven.
I am about as anti-racist as it is possible to be. However, racism is not the worst crime in the world. In fact, it isn’t a crime at all. It’s stupid and evil, but the belief system or attitude isn’t criminal.
And there are certainly much worse crimes. Over 100M people were murdered in the last century by people who were, at least in theory, anti-racist, and whose ideology is still respectable in much polite company.
