I was raised by patriots, I know this all too well.

"It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind." - also Voltaire

Voltaire was a polygenist. I had to look that up. It means someone who believes each race had a separate origin.

"Voltaire believed that because of their different origins, blacks did not entirely share the natural humanity of whites." - William B. Cohen (2003). The French encounter with Africans: White response to Blacks, 1530–1880. Indiana University Press. p. 86.
