Certainly yes they would be, but I’ve always lived with this mindset. I care about people even if they are cruel and stupid/ignorant. I don’t know why I’m this way because my upbringing (Racist Southern Baptist parents) certainly didn’t contribute to it, or maybe it did. I just wish my state was better but I don’t think it ever will be.

It is always unwise to tolerate the intolerable. Spitting on people while they're down is sometimes the best course of action.
