This is, by far, the most common version I have encountered both online and off. The person for whom racism is only if you're in the middle of lynching someone while wearing a KKK outfit AND screaming racial epithets AND you're making it completely clear that this isn't Southern Reconstruction cosplay, but that you're…

Minstrel shows were also "entertainment", at one point and time. Lots of stuff has been "entertainment" that society eventually looked at and went "that's.... not really cool." And sometimes, it was because of a loud outcry, rather than indifference and hoping for the best. Christian fundamentalists can do that just…

Point me to where they're saying the latter? Because if there's ANYTHING i've learned from watching the never-ending infighting between progressives in the media, "people who agree with me should have no responsibility for what comes out of their mouths" is literally the furthest thing from the truth possible.

This is also 1,000,000% true.

From my understanding, they are a middling, average band. However, they are a middling, average band who has been feted as the new U2, which people reacted negatively to.
