Michael, I don't know how much of the stuff that has been brought forward on twitter etc you have read but even setting aside the "tranny" usage, or putting it in the "it depends" category, there are racist expressions and tropes that have been highlighted that I am sure you would agree were not acceptable a decade ago or even five decades ago. I don't really want to repeat them but if you need to be pointed to them I can give you some links.
At some point in the next 24 hours, I expect these tweets will be taken down and a high priced PR person will have written an apology for Randy. If it feels genuine, I will be inclined to forgive because that's what my (non-racist) grandmother taught me I should do. |
