How do you know what his motive is?
CL please stop thinking of one person or you yourself in a long history with countless samples.
This is not about any one person, but the collective problem that continues to fester because not enough people are standing up to the minority of xenophobes and bigots.
America still has a racism problem so "I am not" still does not cut it.
To me saying "I am not" on the issue of racism, is like being a passenger in a car with a drunk driver and saying, "I wasn't driving". Yea great, you were not driving, but you didn't do anything to take the keys away from the driver.
I have the same issue with religion when Muslims and Christians and Jews pull this shit. "I'm not violent", "I don't promote bigotry with my religion." It does not have to be all, but just enough of a big enough minority to cause problems for everyone else.
Same with economics, when the rich point and place blame on everyone else. Of course not all business owners are selfish dicks, but just like racism, it only takes enough to hold everyone else whom are not, hostage.
