FreedomRequiresThought's Profile

It is easy to demonstrate one's belief in a cause by dismissing the past by the present's templates.

Other inspiring places that should be dismissed as not truly inspiring because slaves built them:
The Pyramids
The Parthenon
The White House
The Capitol
The Colosseum in Rome
The Great Wall of China
Chichen Itza

Slavery was wrong, and society today recognizes that. But to say the past is not worth our wonder because the wrongs of the past do not meet the rights of today's standards is a loss to our current time - the people of the past, right or wrong, are long dead, and no longer concerned about what we think today.
