He would not necessarily be a racist for posting such negative and dismissive comments about the struggle of black people in America for civil rights; he could very well have been ignorant of Parks' life story and the details of the bus incident (nothing wrong with that at all).

So in your world, anyone who has similar feelings either 1) doesn't know about Rosa Parks's history or 2) is a racist. Not exactly the most civil way to debate, Cyrus. "You're either ignorant or a racist if you believe that" is what this amounts to. I've already given an example of a black actor (and the black director who wrote the script) saying just about the same thing that Beer said. Are they ignorant/racist too?

then one can start thinking that Beer and Pizza's comments might have been somewhat ...prejudiced.

So how do we get from "might have been somewhat" to "he's a racist"? I see the great Cyrus is definitely not above namecalling, even if the person only "might have been somewhat prejudiced". Very classy of you.
