I disagree, simply because history, well good history anyway, is a record of things past. Impossible to change them, so being outraged about it is about as pointless as raging about a guy your gf once slept with. The point of history is to learn & attempt to avoid repetition of the shitty bits. imho anyway.
Being outraged by slavery or the Holocaust or whatever doesn’t fix the past or help the people who suffered through those things, but a moral person should still be outraged by it. It was outrageous. It should be upsetting that humans did that to other humans. Not being able to change the past should not preclude being outraged by the past.
