You're pinpointing...
I understand you POV; just understand I'm seeing the big picture, where various entities could be put in the same atmosphere (anti-gay; pro-gay...pro-choice; pro-life; etc)...

Blame the guy that created him and placed him in the spotlight...

I can't call you a racist...
My IQ is above double digits...My conscious wouldn't allow it...
(Although I do understand the "walking on eggshell" intent)...
