        Does one thing excuse the other thing, or not? Because if not - why would you have to mention it, when pointing out the other thing?

            Wwwhy is it kinda weird, not to mention what you mentioned, when they mentioned what they mentioned?

            For what other reason would you expect the positive thing to be included with the negative thing?

              Eldritch commented on Desalines’ choice of name without important context, as though to posit the question: Why name oneself after a genocidal dictator? I added context in case anyone else wondered the same thing and hadn’t heard the name before.

              There’s no reason to believe I excuse anything.
