I'm sorry, but can you specify which link you're referring to? I just read two articles that were not relevant, and that makes me slightly peeved, sir.

Probably white males feeling like they are being blamed for stuff they aren't personally responsible for, would be my guess.

Uh, the EU was set up to take advantage of the U.S.? That's patently false. It was set up primarily to entangle the economies of France and Germany so that there would (hopefully) never be a major war again on the continent...

That's an unconstitutional law. However, it would not run afoul of the Grundgesetz.

Justices really should be required to step down at age 70. That is too old to work any job more important than the guy who greets you at Walmart.

Is it too old to hire the best and brightest to do your work for you?

I can’t imagine anyone caring about the Supreme Court. Even starting a thread about them is lame.

... and simply "holding individuals accountable for their own bad acts" does little to address the issues at hand in a meaningful way.

Yet that seems like the only fair thing to do if we want to actually operationalize the purpose behind the 14th Amendment?

Not sure, but it's kind of tricky when many would argue that unfair, government-supported violations of the 14th Amendment are major factors in the racial crime and wealth disparities we see.

Perhaps that's why the 14th Amendment has had more litigation concerning it than every other amendment combined. But change is excruciatingly slow, both in society and in the courts (but I would argue it's slower in society). It's great that you've identified power gradients that have existed in correlation with race, but come on, guy... We've been addressing that for 150 years. Self-flagellation and drum circles aren't going to solve it, and you can't reach into the minds of bigots. So we must try to shape policies to promote individual rights that act as a bulwark against institutional discrimination. But that must by necessity cut both ways.

He was definitely pissed, but I read your post and responded more as a hypothetical, so I’ll tweak the wording:
Spracs would it have been okay for the black guy he said it to (and then shouted over) to be outraged?

Yes. He has every right to be outraged about whatever he wants. I'm rolling my eyes at the self-flagellating commentators who pick up the standard in his stead and try to make this an overt racial insult. Of course, they too have a right to be outraged about whatever they want. But I reserve my right to roll my eyes in their virtual direction.

Rusty's argument seems to presume that there are good and bad forms of racial stereotyping, and that we can readily discern between the two.

The cotton-pickin' outrage is pretty eyeroll-y, but there's an easy fix: Every time you feel you're about to say cottin' pickin', just say motherfuckin' instead.

Some people aren't entitled to a competent defense, and everyone is entitled to have someone lie to the press for them.
