Hey general, don't pop a cork!

So, we know that Lincoln's views on race were racist if viewed through the lens of contemporary values (which is an incredibly stupid thing to do!), but his views were appreciably softer and more compassionate than any southerner of the era.

Does this mean that you are admitting that all your ancestors were racist white supremacists?
