My mother was a closet racist but I loved her very dearly. She donated to many charities, set up fund raisers for drug rehab centers and always picked up the check no matter how many people were at the table. I separated her bad judgement knowing damn well it was wrong and illogical and appreciated the good; I still continued to love her despite some ugly thoughts she had. I like Gaugin's paintings even though he was a syphilic pedophile who left his family so he could have sex with teens in the south pacific... I separate the man from the work because it is good work. I would have had him put in jail if I could too. http://hyperallergic.com/111730/posthumous-prognosis-for-sup... Hugo Boss makes some really nice underwear and mens shirts but when Hugo Boss was alive he designed all the NAZI and SS uniforms. The original Hugo Boss is dead and is one suppose to "never forget" and punish those that came after him? http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/15/business/hugo-boss-acknowl... T.S. Elliot was anti semitic but he was pen pals with Groucho Marx (a jew) and had a photo of Groucho on his wall. Being friends with Groucho actually softened his points of view because Groucho stayed engaged. http://www.openculture.com/2014/02/groucho-marx-and-t-s-elio... Personality has many modules. In some areas within our personalities there is a bunch of lice. However, you support what you agree with and you aggressively question the bad. |

There is no harm in you liking Gaugin's paintings now, because he is dead, and by liking a painting, you don't enable his pedophilia.
I will not judge Koch, but if you view him in a bad light, you have every right to question Rowe, because Rowe and Koch enable each other.
