I recently came to the conclusion that looking back on the way someone acts compaired with what is acceptable today without taking into consideration the conditions and what was acceptable back then distorts ones views, making what can be a great person who did great things into a horible person.

Yes Henry Ford was racist, but at that time racism was the norm and "accepted", it doesn't make it right, but understanding that fact puts it into perspective, times change.
