Sorry, no. To make clear your subtext: Morgan Freeman being Black does not somehow immunize him from having a really bad take.
Racism is also facilitated by people pointing to the crack pots and saying, we swear we're not like them... oh, also wear this band for your safety... so we know how to easily identify you.
Open racists do not scare me. Plus, I am 100% sure we have very different definitions of what is an open racist. Worse, having that discussion is tiring and ultimately pointless semantics that slows down the actual discussion of important issues.
What scares me is this milquetoast won't everyone just calm down and we really need to turn the temp down and agree to talk...
This while the mid-tier of Side-A is re-posting gas chamber memes, playing the victim card, and calling everything they don't like porn. And Side-B, ever the dutiful neo-liberal centrists, lean into the characterization that they are the resistant or some s-star-star-t because it gives them the tingles.
It is the same everything is normal cosplay over and over again. I am tired of having to, again, entertain the rational suggestion that "racism is a crutch" of the next person in costume that fancies themselves an iconoclast because they are brave enough to say they don't like seeing the homeless in SF.

Sigh, this is boring...
