I am/was BIG mad at that bullshit he said yesterday. It's dangerous and marginalizes an already marginalized community... one that he belongs to *and* has supported him plenty over the years. We are responsible for his success.

BUT...

Mental illness is real. And it is irrational, erratic, nonsensical and horrifically ugly when it goes unchecked. Combine that with some power and a platform, and this is what we have. I mean, we weren't claiming he was 'stupid' when he shouted that George Bush hates black people on national television.

I'm just trying to make the point that this has ZERO to do with his intellect.. something we can't even debate considering he's sick.

Be mad at the dangerous shit he said, for sure. I was *hopping* mad last night. But in the light of day, even though that shit still smarts, I'm way more mad at the people that know he's sick, and are exploiting him for ratings.

He is ill. There is no 'but' clause.
