You know, when I first read about her comment I was trying to imagine how she might have been taken out of context and sensationalized, like maybe she just meant that people from a different age carry the prejudices of their time and that those prejudices will be a fact of life until they die along with those people. But then when I actually heard the interview, she says it with a certain uncontained zeal...it's not about moving forward with new understanding. It's about ginning up bloodbaths and orgies of violence, retribution for perceived wrongs (committed by people no longer alive, to people no longer alive).
These people have already poured gasoline everywhere they can and are now desperately trying to strike matches.
