Can you give an example of reinforcement against outrage? I am still not clear on what that was. I know someone else demonstrated it (I thought maybe it was me, accidentally)- but I'm just not clear on what it is.

I don't see putting the reverend's life in context, for example, as necessarily enabling. I don't even see doing a close reading of his sermons as enabling- since I would not have known that a white Reagan official was being quoted, if someone else hadn't researched that. The number of really offensive sermons given by this pastor is very small- and I don't find it enabling to say that- I find it only fair.
