But AGAIN, (as horrible as it is), we are talking the a DIFFERENT ERA. You can't take today's thinking on equality, and try and throw that to a era in the past. As hideous as it was, THAT was still somewhat the norm back then. Remember, we are talking about an era before the civil rights movement, and anti-segregation. The sad fact was that THAT was more of the norm back then, and socially acceptible. We have evolved since then thank God. And today, it sounds absolutely outrageous. But that's just the point, as outrageous as it sounds today, it sounds outrageous in TODAY's thinking. We can't place today's thinking on a thinking that was the norm back in the 20's, 30's, 40's, and even the 50's yet. |
