Actually, powerclown, what he said was:
Quote:

He taught me, Jesus did, how to love my enemies. Jesus taught me how to love the hell out of my enemies. And not be reduced to their level of hatred, bigotry and small-mindedness. Hillary never had her own people say she wasn't white enough.

I can see why you might assume he is talk about about all white people here but what I hear is an angry man talking about his enemies. Enemies that happen to be white. This does not equal *all* whites. It should also be noted that he is talking about black people who bring down their own by suggesting that some blacks are not black enough (the suggestion being they are enemies too).
I don't see this man as a racist. I see him as divisive and inflammatory. Things that are largely unhelpful in my eyes. But racist? No.
And Matthew... please don't take my words out of context. That sentence follows on the point that Scout appears to have already made up his mind so any further dialog is just pissing the wind.
