I can understand why a poor mother would steal food for her child. Does that mean that I think its ok for her to steal? No.
Understanding something and believing its ok are two different things.
At the end of the day, people are responsible for their own actions. Its not my job to justify it. I just simply made the comment that I recognize and have shared the experience of being treated badly because of my race. Do I go around being mean to people? No.

I'm just saying it has no relevance to the fact that he did it and is a sympathy play.
But then again, I want there to be no shades of gray on this.
And if the roles were reversed, someone reasoning that a white man lynched a black man because he is fighting a race war and doesn't like black people using the same public bathrooms, would be called a racist. I guess that's black and white with no room for gray.
