Here's what you're failing to understand: I disagree. By definition, anyone who used such views to justify the subjugation of "inferior" races could not possibly have been people of conscience. Thinking you have moral justification, or a right to subjugate anyone you deem an inferior race
automatically disqualifies you from being a person of conscience.
