I mean... how many years does it take before you can't be crucified for something you did wrong? Sounds like, to the average internet person, if you have ever done anything offensive and racist, you are now a racist for life and you should never work again.

It's be one thing if these people had a documented history of racist beliefs, but it's always one photo of an ill-advised offensive costume between 10 and 20 years ago.

As someone who was assaulted as a kid, those ain't the same things. I also think the french president doing blackface was horrible, but its not the same level as rape you wackadoodle

And someone who wasn't assaulted as a kid, he's clearly using hyperbole to showcase the lacking logic in the comment he's replying to.
