I do think it’s difficult for decent people to truly grasp immoral, evil behavior, even when it’s happening right in front of them. But it’s obvious that some Americans have been conditioned to believe evil looks a certain way, acts a particular way and is a characteristic reserved primarily for the “other.”
They seem unable to recognize evil behavior when it’s coming from someone looks like them, acts like them … is one of them.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ~ Edmund Burke
