No problem.
You are welcome to carry on with your chin stroking, "let's hear him out" approach. I've no idea why you would do that, but clearly you're keen, so crack on.
On the flip side, many of us would prefer to push back on people in the world like him, who say stuff like he said about black pilots, and that when women are raped they should be stripped of their body autonomy and forced to have their rapist's baby. We don't really want to know what led him to get to those viewpoints, the truth is we don't really care. Because it's irrelevant. His views were abhorrent, and that's all any sane individual needs to be concerned with.
