We're all jumping on Rider but, you know, he could have been baiting you and then asking a rhetorical question. Then again, you may be more familiar with him and his politics than I am and, therefore, know he is a racist.  
 
The part of free speech most people miss is that if you don't want to hear it, you don't have to listen. Instead, they all shout and scream and blast the free speaker. Like people who don't like Mark Twain: they want NOBODY to be able to read him because they don't like him or, more to the point, understand him.they And, so, too for religious viewpoints. 
 
I occasionally use racial slurs in my writing--mostly satire or very, very angry pieces--to make a point. I am not, however, much of a racist. So...is Rider a racist or someone just making a point?
