This topic has two distinct issues. First was obvious - potential racism.

Abdul-Jabbar identified a second issue - violation of privacy.

During Nam, those who could not deal logically hyped 'ends justifies the means' and 'means justify the ends'. They needed rhetoric to muddy discussion due to nothing useful, correct, or relevant to contribute. They choose to throw everything in a big pot. Sexobon has done same.

Since he confused Abdul-Jabbar's comment with misogyny, he must confuse privacy with other issues such as racism. Even adding a possible thief into the soup. He even wants to throw Snowden into the pot so that you will ignore irrelevant misogynist comments. Apparently confusing issues justifies his actions.

He admits to doing this facetiously for personal entertainment. Ignoring that Abdul-Jabbar defined a second and relevant issue. Abdul-Jabbar’s comments are admirable and commendable. He mentions an issue we still have not addressed.
