How many times do you think I heard racist statements about the color of my skin? A white, Polynesian.. Yeah, I got called enough. Sometimes it bothered me, sometimes it didn't. But one thing it did do for me, is prepare me for life knowing that words can't hurt me.

Sticks and stones, dude..

For one, you assumed that I want to see Americans hurt, maimed or killed. And that says a ton about you. You know nothing about me..

Again - ZERO assumption.

You just said after reading the text that you felt the same way.

He said he wanted to see them kill that kid so much he could taste it. You agreed, did you not?

I agreed that a ton of people would feel the same way, including myself, but not to the point of killing the kid so much that I could taste it. Nothing wrong with an [BLEEP] beating if you deserve it, and that's why I started questioning the reason behind it. In Tucker's case, common sense prevailed and he began to appeal to his own humanity, such as he did. Thinking one thing and acting on it are two different things. Tucker is human, like the rest of us. We think terrible things all the time, but the ones that were raised correctly, never act on them.

If a black guy said ‘that isn’t how black guys fight’ you wouldn’t say a thiiinnng about it. But it is a racist statement, no?

It's racist to people who are conditioned to look for racism, whether it's truly a racist statement or not.
