re: #132 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

You have to take the social mores and such of the time into account when looking at historical figures. It’s why I generally roll my eyes when I see “Lincoln was a racist” articles since they often are ignoring that point on purpose.

True - both Lovecraft (and Lincoln) lived in an era when the notion of White Anglo-Saxon supremacy was taken for granted as nothing less than “established scientific fact” and to suggest otherwise would certainly have been considered quite a radical concept, if not entirely outlandish.
