Re: A product of his time
He's meaning that going back in time and applying today's moral compass to historical statements. i.e. Going through Abraham Lincoln's quotes and find that he used the "n-word", and his statues should be torn down because of it. Instead of understanding that society changes over time and what was perfectly acceptable and said without malice at the time should not be applied with the same moral standing of today. That maybe you should realize that what was normal, proper, correct statements that you make today WILL be unacceptable at some time in the future, if you are over 40 you've probably had that experience, but if you are under 40 you haven't had that society change happen and be held to your historical statements under changed moral rules.
