Quit virtue signaling over 200 year old “racism”
By anyone even Lincoln
Who cares
It’s an absurd context to all of history where even today all peoples I’ve know self identify by race and other markers like ethnicity or nation or region etc
It’s like “Mfumii was the last of his tribe to give up cannibalism”
Lincoln thinking blacks were not up to snuff doesn’t diminish him anymore than it does Jackson or Washington etc
The church of Lincoln isn’t going to like that.
On Good Friday we really ought to dig up quotes equating Lincoln with Christ that you can find his contemporaries uttering.
Boston Transcendentalists, Unitarians, abolitionists, socialists were good for that kind of stuff. In some cases they said he was better than Christ. That may be popular in some quarters even today.
Someone once pointed out that the ever popular Battle Hymn of Republic is basically a gnostic celebration of a God-like federal government meting out divine judgement on the rebel heretics who richly deserve being slaughtered. You piss off that god at your own peril.
