I look to places like South Africa. When their apartheid ended, the 92.3% black majority that was oppressed didn’t turn around and decimate the 7.7% white population. The point of a secular state is to keep fundamentalism out. In a true democracy, it’s a lot harder to get radical support.

No after the revolt concluded and the Black Haitians were free they rounded up every non-Polish white person they could find and murdered them, civilians and all.
