https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_who_owned_slaves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_Unit... Don't even start on other historical figures. I think we need to be able to live with some facts because if we start erasing every person that has ever said anything racist or sexist then we would pretty much have to contend with the fact that in the past almost everybody was guilty (or we don't have enough knowledge). Sensibilities were different in the past. Do not treat historical facts as if it happened today. It doesn't mean it was right. But denying everything isn't very useful framework through which to look at the past. Pretty much ALL of military was both sexist and anti-gay through entire history. So I guess remove all military names from everything? If you go far enough back in time pretty much EVERY parent or teacher beat their kids. I am talking about abuse but about using physical pain as a teaching aid. This would be unthinkable today. Does this mean all these people were evil or is it that they grew up in a culture that made it ok to beat the kid a little bit if it was in the name of teaching him/her a lesson? And even made it a virtue... ("spare the rod, spoil the child") Think about it, maybe future generations will look at eating animals the same way we today think about slavery?
