Even when slavery was abolished there was little civil rights.
Prohibition.
As a society we eventually came to our sense on these subjects but the way human history works is that it will never end. In 50 years we're going to look back and go "Wow were we in the wrong on that".
My question is what do you think that'll be?

I would think that what would be more frowned upon in the future are the societies that refuse to admit that most of the subjects mentioned go on somewhere in the world (or maybe in their own backyard..such as the slave trade. )or perhaps acknowledge it but little to nothing is done because it is thought of in the terms "that is their problem, they need to deal with it..it doesn't affect us really." Just a thought.
