Absolutely, and that's what bothers me and why I won't let those people off the hook.

They either denied that he was racist, or say that he was racist and decided that other issues mattered more to them so they'd vote for him anyway. That's disheartening, but calling those people racists isn't going to change that.

    - yes, it's very hard to get some people to accept it. Feels like an attack on their accomplishment I think. - ty97 Nov 11, 11:35 2

        The (somewhat natural) gut defensive reaction to accomplishments they are proud of is somewhat understandable - ty97 Nov 11, 11:44
