You absolutely have a valid point.

People who comment on Reddit make very finite comments. I guarantee there are gray areas in their lives they WISH they could have a say about, but can’t.

Its grandstanding at its finest. I have family that say some really shitty things. Especially racist. Then they have a mixed child and take great care of them and their family. Crucify me if you must, but I think on average theyre doing alright. I disagree at opportunity.

Its always different at celebrity status, but I think kid rock is at a similar level and Eminem maybe sees it similarly. The dumb ass uncle or cousin you dont agree with but you can push aside those political ideas and just hang out.

Maybe this is proof that actions are more important than words in the grand scheme of things. Ignorance can make a person say awful things even if that isn’t how their hearts are oriented.

Racists being good to their own mixed child doesn't make them a good person, it just highlights the fact that they have zero empathy, which is a characteristic of a bad person.
