It’s a very twisted thing about all of this, and it blurs the lines between right and wrong. I’m finally starting to understand why some people will genuinely try to argue that a bigot is actually a good person, the bigot just hasn’t ever been adversarial toward them. It’s like a mental block, they have to be hit over the head with the information — my cousin’s son is not such a good person, but he’s happened to do good things for my family so none of them see it. There was a point that I would have argued for him before I’d learned the kinds of things he’s done.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you actually had a somewhat personal connection to the man. I can understand your perspective, and I genuinely am sorry if I insulted you. I hope you understand that your experience does preclude your association with the blindly devoted.
No apologies needed. You’re absolutely right. And finally I don’t feel insulted.
When you’re right, you’re right. I am different from most in that I don’t get bothered for admitting I’m wrong. And further more, I appreciate you! Not only for educating me, but not being a prick, like the first dude who I responded to was. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate people like you and the cause you successfully help to further.
