I listed more examples above, such as how racism and discrimination were once widely accepted. I don't think I need to provide a citation for basic facts such as claims of racial/genetic superiority in the era of Hitler, or historical beliefs that white people were inherently superior to dark-skinned people for hundreds of years, of how ordinary people had no qualms in keeping "sub-human" blacks as slaves.. this is all extremely common knowledge to the point where citing it would be like citing "the earth is round-ish". I think if you take a charitable interpretation of what I'm saying as a basis for discussion and try to find things that SUPPORT the statements truth rather than counterexamples, you would see them and understand my argument. I really don't believe taking a purely adversarial stance and poking holes instead of attempting to first understand contributes the discussion usefully.
