I don't think obscuring the truth because people will react badly to it is a worthwhile endeavor. How people choose to react to the truth is up to them, they deserve it regardless. What these people are feeling is the emotional culmination of Australia's horrific history known as "the stolen generation." We would all be happier to forget it. we shouldn't though.

You've objectively stripped any and all empathy and humanity from your position. I am leaving this conversation
