Except no one is arguing that we should be celebrating discrimination. The original poster said, "By these standards we shouldn't celebrate the NASA moon landings because [NASA probably had racists back then]". He's not suggesting we should celebrate racism, he's suggesting we should celebrate the moon landings and acknowledge those who achieved it despite the racism. The person I replied to literally said, unqualified, that those things are not worth celebrating. Since the only thing the original post suggested we celebrate is the moon landing, the conclusion is obvious.
- tshaddox 4y agoYes, my point is precisely that you can celebrate one thing (moon landings) without celebrating other things (all those bad things the commenter listed that were closely associated with the moon landings).
- naasking 4y agoThe only people disputing your point are those who are trying to get the Webb telescope renamed.
