Just because you supply aid to black people does not mean you do not find them inferior; quite the opposite in fact. It's too easy for a racist to only look out for their own. The smarter ones get their rocks off by pretending to be the valiant white hero they think the world needs.
Trying too hard. Sometimes the best thing you can do is say nothing at all, or else you look like a....you.

And what might the reaction have been if the rescuers had displayed a "rainbow" flag?

Personally, I feel anyone offering help in this situation, especially if putting themselves at risk, should be commended. My only objection is to an "outsider". be they an outspoken white nationalist or an outspoken SJW, applying their own personal values, which are usually completely arbitrary and not grounded in any pattern of logical, empirical standards.

"I disagree with almost everything you say, but will defend, to my death, your right to say it." (Voltaire)

Not much of that spirit going around these days.

Its like the neighborhood drug dealer buying the kids in the neighborhood ice cream. Does that mean he is not such a bad guy to the community after all?

The answer is, "Leave it to people who are not in the dire emergency to even ask such a stupid question or even have the ignorant,silly and useless thought process to be upset about what is on a RESCUE boat".

It's easy for fools and loudmouths outside of the area to pontificate and pick apart what's going on or what some boat looks like but there's one thing I can almost guaranty the people standing in the water or on their roofs looking at that boat are saying and that is "THANK GOD YOUR HERE TO SAVE US" and it's obvious from the videos the people who own the boats are saying "c'mon, get in" and NOT "we don't take your kind"...

Another false narrative is that Trump is a racist. Yet another is that all of his 63 million supporters are racist. I don't know of course but odds are quite a number of these primarily white guys with the boats and pickups going to volunteer to help are Trump supporters. I'm sure some are not.
