Ahh yes, use the people who enforced Jim Crowe as a barometer of moral standard
Gotcha
Missing the point.
Human behavior doesn't change much. We are sardonic creatures who find humor in the macabre.
It's only recently that we've been told it's fukked up, but we still find it funny. We are animals, the result of millions/billions of years of evolution (or whatever you believe in). For everyone of us that made it, ten died in some fukked up way. All we did was sit back and learn what NOT to do.
Why do highway barriers and stop lights exist? Enough poor fools flew off the side of the highway into a ravine, or the ocean, or the wasteland for us to build a barrier in that stop. Why is it against the law to smash a 13 year old? Because sans deterrent, motherfukkers would fukk 13 year olds without thinking about it.
Humans are incredible though. You better sit back and laugh, lest you become one of the fallen.
