I don't see Wright and Duke as equivalents by any stretch of the imagination. I could expand on my reasons for that, if you like.

I'd be interested in that. I'm hard pressed to differentiate.

It seems to me that those who do are sympathetic to the pain that triggered Wright's anger so they cut him some slack. But that doesn't make his outrageous pronouncements any less outrageous or damaging.

Or they are looking at Wright as a whole person and, on balance, find Wright less offensive because he has a positive side where Duke has none. Again, that doesn't make Wright's outrageous pronouncements any less outrageous or damaging.
