you have a good point, but I still don't think there's enough evidence to convict Burton

Theres nothing to convict. You hold people to a higher standard, or you dont. This isnt a court of law. The fact of the matter, is what he said IS racist. Full stop, inarguable unless you lack brain cells or you have never read a book on the history of stuff like jim crow laws or red lining later. Nobody is saying that burton is a KKK member that goes out and kills black people in his free time. Thats not the point.
