My perception is:
That OJ Simpson was a douchebag who became a murdering douchebag.
Michael Jackson is a fruitcake and probably a child molestor.
I deny the innate "right" of Israel or of any nation to exist. Israel seems to have committed crimes against humanity towards the Palestinians.
In attempting (and failing dismally) to take the moral high ground,Israel is simply resorting to the tired old Tu quoque fallacy.
Am I racist? Probably,in some ways, although I do my best not to be. However, I don't see myself as an anti Semite or anti black. I criticise behaviour and character,but not race, just as I don't criticise large groups of people because of their religion.
I have not read all of Adrian's post,probably only a few dozen. I haven't noticed any "racist tendencies." In my opinion the accusation is a fatuous ad hominem attack.
