Um... no. There are good human beings. Despite his drawbacks, MLK is a great man worthy of being known about and whose legacy deserves recognition. The issue is deifying people. And with European culture, who is considered great is hella terrifying, because there are MANY white people who fought for civil rights and sought to end colonization and imperialism. But that's not who is considered great. John Brown should be on every person's lips, but the same people who dismiss and reason away mass unaliving by the likes of Columbus and the U.S. Founding Fathers cannot stand him because... well let's just say he wasn't as discriminating in *WHO* he was mass unaliving

I actually just saw a situation like this in a Joy Division comment section on KZread. I love this band and they did nothing wrong, but they were being put on a pedestal by their fans. They would rub in people's faces how better the past was, college students with first jobs were seen as lesser than Ian Curtis, the bandmates' talents were described in a way that made other musicians seem insignificant. It made me sad to see Ian Curtis, a struggling young musician, being treated like a god. It's like giving a cancer patient a pat on the back for just suffering. I simply see him as a human that inspired me to write my own poetry. Nothing more, nothing less. Same goes for the rest of the band getting me into post-punk. It was bizarre seeing them being thrown into sensationalism when they were actually against that.

And intentionally re-used syringes, contributing to the spread of the HIV in India despite knowing that even where single-use needles canulas etc. are unavailable, auto-claving of reusable equipment had become the standard of practice world-wide by the 1980s. She apparently insisted on re-use without autoclaving. So well funded were her activities, that single use equipment and autoclaving would have been easily obtainable for her hospices. Absent that isolation of HIV patients from other patients along with establishment of different sets of equipment used on the two different groups might have limited spread. She didn't do that either. As it was medical instruments were used indiscriminately after being washed with dish soap. The only conclusions that can be drawn are that 1) she drew no particular distinction between diseases effecting patients and had a pessimistic view of possible outcomes, to the extent that she saw her role as essentially managing the process of death or 2) that her amount of medical knowledge was both limited and she had failed to keep up with improvements in medicine, utilising clinical practices which had fallen behind by decades. In either instance it seems like almost anyone with a more pro-active view of care and up-to-date medical qualifications would likely have avoided the same degree of errors. Her preference for women who were (and are) primarily characterisable by the intensity of their faith in the order she founded, despite many of them lacking so much as a complete secondary education, let alone any relevant further education was also a problem. They were nuns, not nurses. Some were from the social class which sent their daughters to university, but many had an education equivalent to the average for Indian society at the time, not more than seven or eight years of formal schooling. Would you want someone with a primary school education providing your medical care ? She herself did complete high school, but her further education consisted of a few months of training at a convent in Ireland to become an *educational* missionary, during which getting up to speed in speaking English must have been a major focus. The number of people in India who can speak Albanian or Macedonian is vanishingly small, after all. Her many televised interviews provide an indication of how successful that was. Her spoken English remained heavily accented, halting and elementary over fifty years later and she resorted to the assistance of an interpreter during interviews throughout her life.

I’m a historian by profession and I don’t buy the “oh, but it was a different time” thing. There are many complex (and honestly, frequently tedious) arguments about why people did this or that and the choices they could’ve picked, and from a (relatively) liberal modern stand point you can argue it was immoral or barbaric or whatever. But to horribly (horribly!) simplify it, people have acted the same way throughout history. There’s a billion sources across cultures and continents that show both the best and the worst of humanity. We fight each other, we’re pacifists, we’re racists and we’re accepting. It happens everywhere all the time. That’s the human condition. For example: my grandparents were witness to the atrocities of WW2, there parents witnessed the atrocities of WW1, before that slavery, before that the subjugation of the American proletariat, before that the genocide of native Americans, before that and before that and before that the crusades and on and on and so forth. We always focus on the major violent things because, frankly, the history of people just hanging out and getting by is tedious. That being said…don’t be chatting at me about all this back in day shit. Nothing changes, it’s just new forms of cruelty to each other.

That's why I like the interviews the American Academy of Television (?) does because they start with a few biographical basics then do an extensive interview about someone's work. I don't care who they married or if they are alcoholics. I want to know about their careers as actors, directors, etc.

Can you even blame Dr Seuss? I would hate the people killing my friends and fellow soldiers too.

6:30 "Behind every musician, there's a human being with failures and faults" - a great quote from WatchMojo, which is why I'm better off not meeting my heroes or any historical figure. They did something admirable, but they're humans after all.

Jerry Lee Lewis? James Brown? Henry Ford? Harvey Weinstein?

Hoover was a excatly what I despise

Don't forget about Elvis . He married a 14 year old

Many of them didnt see it that way though, only now we do, and future Gens may not.

The only one that surprised me was Hellen Keller. The nerve of that woman.

The use of Simon whistler is always a win

My dad told me years ago that J Edgar Hoover was gay and had many parties. Dad was in the secret service and while being a body guard he saw Hoover in a red dress.

The only one that surprised me was Helen Keller. Disappointed and sad that she internalized ableism 😞

Unless there is documentation, criminal charges, or admittance by the accused, it's all just gossip.

It’s “Rolled” Dahl Never heard it pronounced “Ru-Olled”

Thats the saddest part: if youre looking for perfection in anyone of influence, youre going to be very disappointed. We're human, we're flawed

I hope everyone has positive change for their negative actions.

It’s wild that racial coexistence is described as utopian…

The facts about Hoover, I only heard of them in movies before, but it is technically logical about his actions, even before the Red Scare and beginning of the Cold War. As for President Wilson, his promotion of segregation was not the only apparent unethical movement of his. I learned in high school history that he technically kept the U.S. out of World War I out of unethical means. And about Cromwell, he technically was a type of military dictator in some accounts, due to his censoring of theater and other activities in England itself. And he was also a Puritan, which helps put his actions in context if people know the events of the Salem Witch Trials.

Simon Whistler done made it,,, quoted on WatchMojo 😂🔥

Helen Keller would’ve been put down too so wtffff

Helen Keller was very clear that she wishes that they hadn't done what they did and that they would have just let her die because her life was so hard even after she learned to communicate. Her support was because she was in fact suicidal but could not actually harm herself. She didn't want to truly be alive because she wasn't truly living because she was so severely disabled. She was not talking about people who were just deaf or just blind or have just one foot that has something wrong with it. She also wasn't talking about people who can fully recover. She was talking about those who are truly suffering and since she herself was truly suffering, she would know better than us who are not suffering. She advocated for Mercy.
