I don’t think it’s so much painting over the cracks, it’s just an understanding that the world was so different back then.
No doubt about his believing in white supremacy, unfortunately that wasn’t unusual back then. More the norm really.
The same as the class differences.
Thank heavens we have moved on, not just in this matter either.
