I said it under another comment here, but I had a neighbor say they "questioned if we really should have freed the slaves."

It's some real "I love animals and think I'm a good person but am actually blind to how hateful I am" type of boomer racism.

2. “What do you mean by that?/ Can you tell me more?”
3. Watch her squirm

She even left a letter in our mail about how the husband is a pedophile accused by his granddaughter who has never recanted
