Lincoln sought to deport freed slaves
The Washington Times ^ | February 9, 2011 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 04/28/2015 12:18:27 PM PDT by concernedcitizen76

The Great Emancipator was almost the Great Colonizer: Newly released documents show that to a greater degree than historians had previously known, President Lincoln laid the groundwork to ship freed slaves overseas to help prevent racial strife in the U.S.

Just after he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, Lincoln authorized plans to pursue a freedmen’s settlement in present-day Belize and another in Guyana, both colonial possessions of Great Britain at the time, said Phillip W. Magness, one of the researchers who uncovered the new documents.

Time has proven that the two races cannot live together in harmony. This struggle shall result in the eventual enslavement of degenerate whites. All one has to do is look at the race of those now governing which evidences the progress of the on going process leading to black rule.

Lincoln toyed with this before he was president, but it resurfaced while president. My understanding is Lincoln among others believed they would not easily assimilate into society.

Watching the helicopter shots of the rioters on the news yesterday looked like any west African slum during riot season. Garbage and filth everywhere, both human and otherwise, burning cars, youts in basketball shoes stealing and/or defacing everything.

"...in the 1800s, when prominent statesmen debated whether blacks and whites could ever live together in a functioning society."

Still under debate, apparently.

The funny thing is, I've been in some other countries where the black/white animus wasn't as bad as in the US, or even in the UK. Perhaps it's partly a sign of the times, because that was 30 or 40 years ago, and now the political winds of revenge and Islam are whipping up the passions of the susceptible.

There is a lot about Lincoln that most people do not know. That he abhorred the idea of Blacks and Whites living together is evident from his speech in 1857.

Abraham Lincoln Speech on the Dred Scott Decision

June 26, 1857

There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people, to the idea of an indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races; and Judge Douglas evidently is basing his chief hope, upon the chances of being able to appropriate the benefit of this disgust to himself. If he can, by much drumming and repeating, fasten the odium of that idea upon his adversaries, he thinks he can struggle through the storm. He therefore clings to this hope, as a drowning man to the last plank. He makes an occasion for lugging it in from the opposition to the Dred Scott decision. He finds the Republicans insisting that the Declaration of Independence includes ALL men, black as well as white; and forthwith he boldly denies that it includes negroes at all, and proceeds to argue gravely that all who contend it does, do so only because they want to vote, and eat, and sleep, and marry with negroes! He will have it that they cannot be consistent else. Now I protest against that counterfeit logic which concludes that, because I do not want a black woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. I need not have her for either, I can just leave her alone. In some respects she certainly is not my equal; but in her natural right to eat the bread she earns with her own hands without asking leave of any one else, she is my equal, and the equal of all others.

And he gets even worse further into the speech.

A lot of immigrants in the north were worried about losing their jobs to the freed slaves.

This was supposedly one of the reasons for the Riots in New York.

Blacks in this nation should be thankful every day that Lincoln was assassinated.

And I guess he was right. I have nothing against people of different races, but it’s obvious racial issues are unable to be resolved and cause innumerable problems within societies. Look at homogenous countries like Japan. They don’t have to deal with racial tensions.

There is a large segment of the black population who refuse to abide by laws written and enacted by whites

Yes, that's correct, and it's natural.

They don't want to be ruled by us, and vice versa.

They see themselves as a group, a nation.

Nothing wrong with that. So did the whites, pre-14th amendment.

It might work in a different circumstance. But there's too much history.

What really needs to happen is an amicable divorce. May scare some folks but a black homeland is really the only solution. Where? Well, Gen. Sherman wanted them to have the Georgia coastline south of Savannah.

And some of them claim the whole of the Confederacy:AfricanAmericanHomeland.

But it would have to be smaller then that, and not politically unified with the U.S. - otherwise the goodies pipeline will never be enough.

But sticking it out together?

Doesn't seem workable.

I often wonder what it is in the negro makeup that causes them to act in such primitive pack like ways.

There are so many good black folks. It's just a shame the majority of inner city blacks give them a bad image.

There are many areas out in the countryside where families of blacks live on the same plot of land in lil shacks or run down mobile homes and I gotta tell ya...it's just filthy. Trash strewn everywhere. Looks like they open the back door and just toss the trash out in every direction.

Pass by these places and just shake my head. Folks can be poor, but trashy? Just don't get it.

white liberals tell them they are victims. Black mothers and preachers tell their kids they are victims.
Schools tell them they are victims..
Foe the rest of their lives they class themselves as victims who have to act out and not join the mainstream of America.

it is time for people to tell them to pack it in, be a parent and get a grip of their lives and communities,

How about we turn off the welfare state, and the minority set-asides, and the "affirmative action", and all the rest of the racist tyranny the socialists have thrust upon us.

Then we turn off all the gun-control laws.

ALL of them.

See how it works out.

I think the parasite class and the criminal class will get the message in a hurry.

YMMV.

MLK had a dream that people of all races could live together in harmony. After his assassination, the radical leftist hate-mongers took over his movement and destroyed the dream, replacing it with envy, jealousy, and the sense of entitlement.

Isn’t it amazing that with all the accusations of racism against Republican presidents the one who really was a racist is the one that most would never believe was a racist and in fact a huge percentage of black people don’t even believe he was a Republican but insist that the president who “freed the slaves”, a misconception in itself, was a Democrat. It would seem that wrong information, even if it is not a deliberate lie, can reach the Moon before the truth can get out of a chair.
