The dude who finally got out of North Korea after 18 months died. But according to Huffington Post he deserved it because he was a fucking white male.

Coming from a country filled with citizens who lambaste black victims of state sanctioned violence by telling us that if we obey the law, we wouldn’t have to face the consequences, Warmbier should’ve listened. If he had obeyed North Korea’s laws, he would be home now. In fact, if he had heeded the U.S. Department of State’s strong advisement against travel to North Korea, he would be home right now. And if Eric Garner is to be blamed for his own death for selling loose cigarettes or if Sandra Bland is dead because she failed to signal when changing lanes, then Otto Warmbier is now facing a decade and a half of hard labor because he lacked both good judgment and respect for the national autonomy of a country which has made its hatred for and vendetta against America unequivocally clear.

And while I don’t blame his parents for pressuring the State Department to negotiate his release, I wonder where they were when their son was planning a trip to the DPRK. Didn’t they impress upon him the hostile climate that awaited him? Didn’t they rear him to respect law and order? Did they not teach him the importance of obeying authority?

that is so racist... there is no way around it. If I was to say something similar around any other race it would be certainly removed by a support and I'd be banned for it.

Are you saying that my words are racist or that the assertion in the article is racist?

the sentence you've made sure is, and if the article is about that then it is also.

this is the sentence I wrote: "The article does talk about the arrogance of white males who think they are above the law just because they are white males."

It is a description of some of the content of another text. It is similar to saying such things as:

"The author of the book called George Wallace a racist."
"That magazine article said donald trump is incompetent."
"Fox News says that the Russians didn't interfere with our election."

But be that as it may, you are calling me a racist for saying that there are people who think that white males have had special privileges in the past. That is pretty strange.

Where is the racism? Which race have I demeaned or made fun of? Have I hurt your feelings because I pointed out that some people thin white men have had a edge in western culture?

Not sure if it was bad english or freudian slip. The examples you posted after are not like what you said earlier.
a good example for comparison would be refering to some hitler speech or something "the speech does talk about jews which need to be exterminated"
Its not saying the same thing as "hitler spoke of his viewed necessity to exterminate the jews"

One implies agreement, the other is neutral. (hmm, now Im wondering If I should phrase it as his necessity or the nazi party necessity, perhaps I shouldnt type when in a hurry)
