Berating people to the point that they leave the discussion is the same thing as silencing. Also, "berating" is a kind word. We're talking about "I have the right to exist" vs "we should systematically extermin

Despite his repeated apologies and support of legislation that helped people of color, you're not willing to believe that Byrd was genuine when he apologized. But you do believe Thurmond was genuine. Okay. It has become clear that this
