[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always amazes me how people justify racism just because the racist view was widely accepted during the time the racist was wrong. If you cannot see how sick and crazy that is, you are truly disturbed.  Just because a lot people accept,perpetuate and go along with "wrong", does not magically make it right. But, God forbid anyone tell the truth and seem to taint the image of a cultural icon, and we have to deal with the real, have to think differently about something that "we" hold dear and soeaks volunes about our society as a whole. It's way more important to try to downplay than admit a truth we don't want to deal with [/quote]

Morality is determined by society. It's why we don't use iron maidens anymore or sacrifice babies. People thought they were doing a necessary service to their community. Yes, we can look back now and say that thousands of years of slavery was terrible, but it was normal at the time. I suspect capital punishment will be one of those things in the next 50 years.
