Any slaveholder is repugnant and it's a damn shame they didn't know better.

Because there WERE people at that time who knew it was wrong and fought against it.

So to say "Well most folks thought it was okay" lets slaveholders off the hook.

It's better to say that George Washington was a great man but morally flawed because he owned slaves.

When Keven Hart was calling people fags? PLENTY of folks knew that was wrong. (I was one of them.) It's too bad those words came back to bite him on the butt but ten years ago? He should have known better.
