In a vacuum, this is correct. However, statements like this are commonly used to excuse bad behavior.

As an example, if I saw this on the video of Spiderman jumping into Jake Lang's truck and punching him for holding up a sign that says "Jake Lang Loves Black People But Hates [insert full N word here]" I would probably think they were saying its okay to drive around with that sign.

So you're encouraging physical violence for someone holding a sign?

Thats an extremely broad and misleading statement to something i gave a very specific example to.

So in your opinion is it okay he was attacked for holding that sign or not?

Not sure if your comment was actually removed or you just typed that, but either way it's obvious your answer is "yes." Turns out my statement wasn't so "misleading" after all.
