Once it was “the law” for Englishmen to be forcibly kidnapped from job and family,taken to a ship and forced to swear oaths of loyalty to the very bastards who engineered the kidnapping. Then those men were forced to fight,die, and be executed for disobeying or rebelling against the system.
Lincoln was a dictator who crapped on the Constitution which explains why he is obama’s favorite.
I wonder if Obama/blacks ever knew this about their ‘hero’?
But what about his personal attitude toward the blacks? Alas, he left no doubt as to his disdain for the slaves and his firm belief in the inferiority of the black race. Here is his famous quote from a debate with Sen. Steven Douglas, from “The National Park Service website’s “Lincoln Home Historical Site’s Page,” entitled “Fourth Debate Charleston Illinois”:
‘
‘I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.’
Sounds pretty unambiguous to me. And so it did to Lerone Bennett, Jr., executive editor of Ebony and author of several books on African-American history. He scathingly criticized Lincoln in 1968 in an article he published in his magazine titled ‘’Was Abe Lincoln a White Supremacist?’’ “His answer was a resounding Yes,” ruefully writes The New York Times.
Lincoln believed blacks inferior to whites, Bennett insisted; he supported segregation in the North, told darky jokes, and used the N-word in public and private. He reluctantly embraced Emancipation halfway through the Civil War only after Congress enacted it and slaves voted with their feet for freedom by escaping to Union lines, and he persisted to the end of his life in the belief that ‘’deportation’’ of blacks was the best solution to the race problems that would follow.
To sum it up, Lincoln was an out-and-out racist. Actually, as the flagship mouthpiece of the liberal left put it, quite correctly, he “did share the racial prejudices of his time and place.” But so did the Founding Fathers, didn’t they? And if liberals view them as bigoted miscreants and want to put them on trial for the crime of racism, Lincoln definitely merits a prominent place in the dock. Otherwise, the accusers would be guilty of another grave sin in their own playbook: disparate treatment.
