Either way, giving him more attention solves nothing. Movements gain momentum only because of the publicity they get, negative or positive. Again, if it bothers you, ignore him. This kind of publicity draws support from racist and non-racist people alike. If no publicity were given, this would be a fad that would die out fairly quickly. Now, it just has more strength.
