"Rape wasnt as frowned upon in the 1800s so its totally cool if we leave Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, but fuck the dude who helped bridge the gap between whites and blacks in a time where we still needed someone to" Pretty much all of history is messed up like that. We'd need to completely ignore it if we used those standards. Maybe in 200 years people will think we're messed up too. I think it's fine to acknowledge and teach that historical figures who are glorified were not good people. Hell often we have to speculate and theorize on the kind of people they even were. We're completely detached as to how they lived their lives. But in todays society we don't need to wonder about the kind of person Cosby is. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard! |
