I can't get a one of you to admit there were any Southern racists at all, much less ones worse than Lincoln.
Misdirection, and b.s. We're talking about Lincoln.
Besides, Northerners hated Southern whites -- what do you call that? It was race-specific, so was it racism?
[Me] When? In 1858? Not hardly. More advanced than southern abolitionists? Don't think so. Lincoln was a colonizer, remember.
[You, pettifogging] As was Robert Lee.
Misdirection again, and completely immaterial. We were discussing Lincoln.
But I rather than dealing with mythical Southern abolitionists.....
There was indeed an abolition society in Virginia.
..... how about a quote from some Southern leader who believed blacks were in any way their equal, much less that they had any rights at all?
Immaterial again, and more misdirection. The subject was Lincoln. And besides, conceding that people have rights does not waive the charge of racism.
Come on, Non-Sequitur, you can do better than this. You should be a symphony of indignant eloquence, a decalcomanic whirling dervish of quotebox cut-and-pastes like your idol Wlat. After all, this is one of your favorite sandboxes -- the evil South, and
Too bad your white-marble Rail-Splitter was one, too.
Too funny!
A post condemnatory of the use of box quotes and replete with.....box quotes!
Misdirection? Debatable. But B.S.? Absolute nonsense. You and your buddies condemn Lincoln for beliefs that were head and shoulders above those of your Southron heroes. Hypocrisy is very much a lost cause trait.
Besides, Northerners hated Southern whites -- what do you call that? It was race-specific, so was it racism?
And y'all hated Northern whites. Again, if the North was racist then the South was more so.
But no doubt you'll call that misdirection too.
Too bad your white-marble Rail-Splitter was one, too.
But nowhere near as racist as Bobby Lee, Jeff Davis, Tommy Jackson, and the rest of the confederate White Supremacist league.
