OMG I just got into a weirdo FB fight with a friend of a friend who was throwing all these random red herrings out there that had nothing to do with anything except to say, "but, but, but HE DID IT, TOO!!" I just can't

One of my friends from HS posted this. I have known her for decades, but she has gotten increasingly intolerable. When I expressed annoyance at this posting she asked why I cared, because I wasn't black. What? Delete. Good riddance.
This is a person I don't know all that well - friend of a friend. I just deleted her cause I don't need my blood pressure to rise that high on the regular. This isn't the first stupid thing she has posted.
Have you seen the one comparing her to Nelson Mandela? Some people relish being obtuse.
I haven't seen this and can't even imagine what comparison they might make between Paula Deen and Nelson Mandela (they both have gray hair??) but I have steam coming out of my fucking ears.
Him: "We hear the word N** [edited by me, not this guy] every five minutes in rap and hip hop,racist rants by black entertainers night and day.They're giving this woman shit,really? People are now seeing through the hypocrisy."
Him: "How about talking about the cascade of murders each day in the inner city.A white guy kills a black guy and its all the poverty pimps and hypocrites looking to raise their appearance fees.Its a disgrace,but it gets a thirty second bit on the news.Trayvons' story will get yrs because there are fees to be made and that is how it works for "The Poison Penmen".I have a friend in Ocala who asked a black neighbor to quiet his dogs and for this he received two broken orbital bones,and a fractured skull.He emptied his 38 on the monster.....no news papers,no tv because there's no money in it.His name is Dan.A man with eight herniated discs who sleeps with paddles on his arms to keep his hands trained.Go get get'em Lois."
Him: "Google bride burning (2000 a yr ) or the six women who are murdered by their male companion or husbands ea day.You won't hear any of this.Because the feckless dolts focus on the Paula D' of the world."
ME: "What does any of this have to do with the fact that Paula Deen, WHO MAKES A LIVING ON HER PERSONA, got caught not being as nice as the persona she sells to her fans? So, because there is a problem with gang violence in cities, no one should care that Paula Deen is a bigot?"
Him: "People strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.These are real issues,not soap opera bilge pushed through the scuppers of the media."
Me: " I'm not saying that these real issues shouldn't be addressed. What I'm saying as using them as an argument/excuse/whatever in this case is obtuse at best."
