It is amazing how people don't even bother to know about how Lovecraft was. And those who know try to appropriate his thematic and works in order to "wash away the influence of the filthy and terribly racist white man". It's both hilarious and infuriating.
It is surprising how many people forget that the Jews were collectively to blame for the death of Jesus by choosing to save Barrabas when they were given the choice to free him. After all, the people present and Pilato's palace had a choice and were instigated by the jewish priests to choose Barrabas over Jesus.It is not anti-Semitic to say that the Jews in Jerusalem were responsible, as a group, for the death of Jesus. To say otherwise is like insisting that a man sentenced to death by the Supreme Court and with the approval of Congress, who was opposed by the majority of Americans, and where the UN had washed its hands and said ”this is a matter for the Americans”, was not killed by Americans.
But in this day and age you shouldn't expect people to understand fairly easy to comprehend stories like that. You bet your ass they would go "Yeah, the jews conspired to capture him, yes, the lied to have him executed and they demanded for his execution, but it was the Roman's who were at fault because they were the ones who executed him".
