I am not saying we should vilify people for being imperfect but I do think it’s important to recognize and speak about the harms that they did. Too often we slip into white-washing our history which can be very dangerous. I know you aren’t doing that but I see it so commonly that it has trained me to push back when I see anything even a little similar.

Oh certainly, I agree with that.
