And some only slightly on-topic trivia for you all. When the Lincoln cent was issued in 1909 (his 100th birthday), black people held on to them. They called the new cents “Emancipation money”. Something similar happened for all Americans with the Kennedy half dollars in 1964.

Eventually the left will realize that, and attack white people for singing the song and pretending that things are better now.
