Woodrow Wilson A Racist? So What?

Recently I have heard accusations against the 28th President of this great nation.  It is probably true. He has been accused of being a racist.  I say he was a product of his times.  He was born in  the state of Virginia in 1856.  What do you expect?  There is no need to diminish his accomplishments based on a time period in which he never lived.  Were not the first 15 Presidents of our great nation all slave owners?  What do we do about that?  What can we do?  Nothing.  That is just the way it was. Was it not legal?  Those were different days.  I ask all historians to keep on studying history.  Do your research.  However, if you decide to judge the character of someone, please remember that in many ways, it is inappropriate to judge someone who lived most of his life in the 19th Century, by 21st Century standards.
