Yes, I see what you're getting at. I was composing a letter today to a local radio station that continues to play a song (surprisingly, not a rap song) that I find offensive because it contains a line that I interpret as being repulsively sexist. I was accusing them of passively condoning sexism and perpetuating damaging myths about gender by playing the song.
They make a choice to play the song, but they are not choosing to play it (I'm assuming) because they think it sexist. They are playing it because they think it's a good song. Maybe condone is just the wrong word altogether.
