But there is no context for this that makes it less horrific. There were always white folks who opposed white supremacy so no white person who supported it had any excuse, even if we only assumed white folks' views of the subject mattered. Enslavement and kynching involved violation of two of the commandments these so called christians claimed to follow (don't kill, don't steal), so the moral standards I'm applying here are not modern, they are ancient. These cretins simply violated their own standards, or at least the ones they claimed to hold so dear...and unlike some like Jefferson, who did have positive contributions these D listers like Moore really didn't...there is no reason he should be celebrated at all...he was trash and should be treated as such now,
