Slave owners when slavery was common doesn’t make one a racist.
Murdering Jews during the Holocaust wasn’t bad because lots of people were doing it.
Exactly. I will also note the language in the U. S. Constitution or was it the Declaration of Independence, that declares all men equal. My what a bunch of racists to coined that term, or merely repeated it.
The media today including the Boston Globe simply will not list the race of criminals who commit criminal acts.
Not very racist are they...
After all, what does it matter now anyway?
When you’re dead, you’re dead.

Way too much to sort out there. By today's standards, owning slaves did make you a racist, and they didn't have the word "racist" back then, so today's standard will have to do.
Otherwise we'll be arguing forever about whether the "nice" slave owners were really "racist" or not. We all have more important things to do with our time.
It's all a pointless discussion anyway. Obviously there were more racist presidents than Obama. The author's snark doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
