Well same you can’t tell me people shouldn’t know who the Confederates are or that they held slaves. More what I was getting at is when it’s not a knife at your throat, it’s easier to go “ha ha” and not think about the reality of the thing.
yeah I definitely agree that people who are less directly impacted will be much more insensitive about it. I think the distinction is when people who should know better don’t act better. I think a lot of confederate reasoning is bullshit, but they’re also happy to be thought of as too ignorant to be accountable.
