I am so disappointed in BoingBoing for characterising these remarks as racist. If only the Happy Mutants had a diligent standards and practises dept. like NBC’s. /s

Well, but we need to make absolutely, 100%, entirely sure that he’s a real actual racist, in that he hates people of color, not just someone who believes in ethnic cleansing of America, but doesn’t hate a single soul, before we condemn him, yeah? I mean why the rush to judgement? /s

I mean sure, Kings’s been making racist statements and statements in support of racists in public for decades, but it’s just so darned unfair for people to call him a racist.

Dude looks like he’s already on something. I don’t know what, but his eyes are kinda freaky in every picture I’ve seen.

I mean, isn’t it racist to call white people racist just for making racist statements for decades? I mean, can’t the white man EVER catch a break in America? /s

He has a family to support! We don’t want to do anything that might harm his reputation later. Think of his helpless wife and children!

I know, someone called him racist! The NERVE! All he did was advocate for white supremacy… since when was that a bad thing? /s

I remember the “terrorists will be dancing in the streets” comment. That was standard conservative logic, still basically is (which is not a defense of King, but an indemnification of what passes for conservative theory.)

I’m glad you posted this. Not to be OT but I literally just got laid off and I desperately want to stay mentally occupied with just about anything … except continuing that argument!

So sorry to hear you got laid off. Must be a difficult day for you. Was it related to the gov’t shutdown or the usual corporate douchebaggery?
