[Non-Sequitur]

in other words, you're ADMITTING that lincoln, the TYRANT & WAR CRIMINAL, was ALSO a RACIST?????

I will be the first to admit that by today's standards Lincoln was a racist.

...and then trying to say he was NO WORSE a BIGOT/RACIST than others????

On the contrary, he was light years ahead of southern leaders in terms of racial beliefs. Unlike southern leadership Lincoln did not believe that blacks were suited only for slavery. Unlike southern leaders Lincoln believed that blacks had rights guaranteed them by the Constitution and that were outlined in the Declaration of Independence. You can't point to a single southern leader who would agree with Lincoln on that, much less believe that blacks were in any way their equal.

in other words, lincoln was a RACIST by any standards, then or now.

never thought you'd admit that your "secular saint, DIShonest abe of DAMNyankeeland" had feet of CLAY, was NO BETTER than any other RACIST & the only defense you CAN make of him is that MAYBE he wasn't as big a CREEP as other people! (lol!)
