Of course the guy is a fool (the guy with the dreads -- the first guy, maybe the other guy too). OTOH plenty of Aryan bro-hood types feel similarly about black people. Is it that unusual that a black guy here and there would feel the same way?

Is it usual that people feel this way? No. Is that a reason to do anything but repudiate it?

No, you're not bad....the McSomething sandwich concerns me however...
the mayo you put on it may be the only caloric value you get....

In reading the comments it does seem to be a double standard in with the "offending" business. Interestingly recently a few white comedians commented on how now they will feel the double standard as for years white presidents have gotten mocked. Now with a black president the playing field has changed.
Hmmm..to be continued...

I repudiate the guy. But his very existance does not fill me with fear and loathing.

I learned when I was young and still hold today to disagree with the statement, not the man who made it. Fear and loathing are given by your own permission.
