"He was a great galumphing racist." Well, gosh golly and gee willickers! That old rascal! I don't think anyone benefits from this sort of white-washing the past. How about taking the topic seriously and writing, "Sadly, he was an unrepentant racist who literally bought or kidnapped his 'performers' before exploiting their racial differences or physical deformities. This was not a good man." Honestly, I stopped reading after that. I have no desire to read some revisionist history puff piece about such a horrible human being.
