Henry Ford was an antisemitic loon. Should we abandon mass production of cars?

Ford should have been forced to step down because of his bigotry. Ford also didn't control all mass-production of cars. You might have heard of some other companies such as Chevrolet.

Wehrner von Braun was a literal Nazi, should we abandon efforts to land on the Moon?

If we couldn't do it without the help of Nazis, we shouldn't have tried. But there were plenty of American rocket scientists too. Robert Goddard pioneered rocket science and he wasn't a Nazi.

The difference between those two things and now is that those two things happened back when it was acceptable to most people to be out-and-out bigots. Of course no one was going to do anything about them in the era of Jim Crow. It's 2023. We don't have to forgive bigots anymore.
