yeah I get it, I've for sure said some dumb shit when I was young but never from a place of actual malace and I'm glad it isn't on the internet to come back and haunt me.
My point is I think it's less excuseable to spout racist shit in 2008 than 1980 because it's less prevalent. Also Twitter only got popular around 2008 so whoever it was will have grown up on the internet so doubly should know better.
