A vile human being bought the farm. I'm glad he's gone. One more slot on this earth for a decent human being.

The operative phrase there being "human being." Yeah, some of us are outspoken here in our refusal to lament, however prudishly and sanctimoniously, the death of a bigot. We're human. We go both ways on the ends of the emotions scale, just like we're supposed to.

I'm sure he did plenty for the communities of which he was a part - especially if those communities contained only the kinds of people of which he approved.

There is only one side to hate. And it's that side that affects people's lives. White took it upon himself to leave that as his personal legacy. No one asked him his views or about his prejudices - he just exploited an opportunity given to him for other reasons. He might have done something positive with it, but he decided to preach discrimination and hate.

Who wouldn't be glad someone like that croaked?
