I guess there's a part of me that is really negative towards people like this... and "douche bag" disguises the level of that. I don't wish him harm either... but I don't know that I'd bother to pull his broken ass out of a burning building either. And that's messed up. For sure.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with expressing your displeasure at something obviously messed up, though. I mean, you thinking “what a douche bag” isn’t on the same level as what this dude did, which in my mind openly invites hostility towards black folks. Is it? He *is* a douche bag if you ask me. Doesn’t mean I wish him any harm or anything like that. Just means I have no respect for him. Am I making sense? Agreed to an extent.

Like that guy around 2:20 who says "I go by there, and I just think he's a racist -- I hate him." Fighting fire with fire and all that jazz. We hate on him for being hateful. My first thought after watching this was "what a douche bag." It's so damn difficult to turn the other cheek (so to speak). Too much hate, too little love.
