We are imperfect. If we stop celebrating our best natures when they come attached to flaws, we'll never celebrate again. That said, never excuse. Re: WonkyFactory

We lionize Malcolm X, in all his flaws and incorrect opinions, for the same reason we can respect, or even exalt, men like Thomas Jefferson for expressing novel and revolutionary ideals that have changed us, while maintaining people in slavery. We are imperfect.

If we stop celebrating our best natures when they come attached to flaws, we’ll never celebrate again.

That said, never excuse.

In it, a blood-stained cross related the crucifixion from it's point of view. Much as in this bit the bullet speaks out.

Can someone please explain to me why it's OK to lionize someone who supported violent oppression and the dehumanization of a marginalized group? Thanks.
