words that irk me

"The cancel culture wants their statues torn down, and have it taught they were evil racists whose great contributions were insignificant because of things they did that are unacceptable today, even though it was accepted and commonplace in their time."

What do you mean by saying, "and have it taught they were evil racists".........................They were evil racists!!!! Just because it was acceptable in those times does not make them NON-RACISTS"!!!! Therein lies the problem with the "Cancel culture" terminology.............trying to rename something to make is sound OK or acceptable just because some in society found it "acceptable". I'm sure the slaves didn't find it acceptable or did the black folk not have a seat at the table???? You need to look at it from both sides, not just the side you want to see it from.
I'm sure the Hebrew slaves Moses freed found it unacceptable, as well.
