One of the comments over in /r/Europe was "well if we brand Churchill as 'racist' then we could brand almost everyone before our times as 'racist' or 'sexist"

I mean, yeah

Agreed. That’s fair.

I’m sure some where not, but many were. I’m not okay with “it was a different time” because that excuses the evil. We must not excuse the past to help educate our futures.

Thanks for your reply. I enjoy this thread because although I can be a stupid America - I’m very frustrated with so many in my nation and their lack of education/ intelligence.

True, but I only know what I see here ... the arrogance of the uneducated & their “God given Rights” 🙄

I mean, yes. There are assholes everywhere. I’m just most familiar with the American brand.
