I don’t think he was being ironically racist.

Here’s how I interpreted it...

Someone says “I bet you beat your spouse and children? It’s such an insane statement I say “Oh yeah, I’m definite a spouse beater. Beating spouses is a great thing. We all should beat our spouses and children!”

I don’t think that’s ironically condoning domestic violence. It’s an as absurdism response. If I was captured on video with such a response and you retweeted it, I don’t think it’s likely that the retweeter was condoning domestic violence.

Thus saying “prepend condones domestic violence.”
