DA and not the OP -- the 'product of their time' thing only goes so far for me, too. Very often, people underestimate the range of possible opinions / actions in any given time. John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis were "products of their time," but William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and John Brown. H. P. Lovecraft was one year older than Nella Larsen and Zora Neale Hurston. Present day US news media has Melissa Harris-Perry, Rachel Maddow, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly, all existing together as products of their time, and the range of possibility for contemporary writers / artists is much broader than that of TV hosts. The past is no different. There were racists and anti-racists, reactionaries and radicals and conservatives of all stripes, feminists and anti-feminists, all in the context of their times.

I'm all for judging people in the context of their times, but I do think it's important to put some thought into what that context actually is. Sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't.

aw shit, I accidentally deleted part of my text wall.

William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and John Brown were products of the *same* time.
