You're missing the forrest for the trees. It doesn't matter if people are obstinate in the face of a change in view. Nobody is denying that. The point is that it is not up to oppressed people to be nice to their oppressor. That

  1. Does not work
  2. Is at best tone policing

The problem isn't the reaction to hate, the problem is the hate.

Yeah I heard at the end of World War II the Jewish people all got together and bought presents for Hitler and he was like "Oh wow, I've been so wrong, Jewish people are good!" (it also helped that he watched 21 Jump Street) and then he released them all and that was the end of that. /s

The idea that you can bring your oppressors around by being kind to them is some fucking stockholm syndrome shit.
