If we follow this liberal reasoning to its logical conclusion, the idea that our ancestors did not have a 21st century politically correct conscience, then literally everyone who came before us will be flawed in some way. Everyone who came before us in history needs to be tarred and feathered for being racist, sexist, bigoted in some way. There would be nobody at all in history to worthy of respect.
Or what about our own families. How many of our grandparents and great grand parents would have signed on to homosexual marriage, for example? How many of us had white ancestors in the south, in the days of Jim Crow? If they didn’t protest, then we need to treat their memories with scorn, if we are to follow the liberal line.
The ultimate devolution of homo sapiens; : History, morals, a conscience and the siren song of every imaginable perversion bloomed in perfect form when they were born.
Reminds me of my cats; cute, lovable but, in the end, totally self-absorbed beasts, useless in the continuum of humanity.
