"Do you mean like they refused to talk about it to let Asriel fill in the blanks and come up with something even worse? Sorry, I just want to make sure I understand your meaning as best I can."

Really, just saying it wouldn't do it justice from Chara's perspective. "They don't like monsters" or "They attack what they don't understand"? ..When you just say it like that, it doesn't really seem like a good reason to hate the species as a whole, let alone think they deserve desctruction! (Though the latter Chara probably wasn't going to reveal until after the whole villager attack, once Asriel kills them out of self-defense, citing the encounter itself as evidence). But, if Asriel would experience the humans attacking an innocent, HIMSELF, firsthand, wouldn't that increase the odds of Asriel getting Chara's message? And based on his Genocide Speech as Flowey, he did end up getting the message.. But only AFTER he actually died. Though his soullessness probably played a big part in that, to the point where if he came back WITH a SOUL, he might not have even reached that conclusion. Things like this affect your decisions about their nature a lot more than just saying it would.

"They way they spoke to you at the end of the Genocide route seemed to suggest otherwise. They state your power brought them back to life and that they were confused and didn't understand why they were still here, then specifically say the with your guidance they realized the purpose of their return. It sounded to me like they where confused and didn;t understand what was happening and therefore looked to the first available example, which was you/us."

Okay, it seems you've completely misunderstood the speech. Let me quote from the speech itself to show you what's actually going on.

"Greetings. Thank you. Your power awakened me from death."

Yes, your power brought them back.

"My 'determination'. My 'human SOUL.' They were not mine, but YOURS."

Their SOUL shattered with Asriel's. They share our determination, not having any of their own.

"At first, I was so confused. Our plan failed, hadn't it? Why was I brought back to life?"

Chara was wondering why they were brought back. Their plan failed, so they died. Why are they alive, if they both died, and ceased to exist?

"You. With your guidance."

You. You're the reason why.

"I realized the purpose of my reincarnation. Power."

See? They realized it all by themselves!
