I completely agree. All i can say is Lucem was speaking as if that is the general tone in America and from what ive experienced that is a minority opinion, similar to the holocaust example i used. Ive never heard even the people id call racist downplay the brutality of what went on, theyre just ignorant. I think that kind of mentality is found mostly within the circles of hate groups and the deepsouth kind of microcosms.
Otherwise, fair point. Perhaps thats just my ignorance from not having travelled much.
