“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – 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. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

"There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races ... A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas ..."

"In the language of Mr. Jefferson, uttered many years ago, "It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degrees, as that the evil will wear off insensibly; and in their places be, pari passu [on an equal basis], filled up by free white laborers."

"Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man."

~Abraham Lincoln

I said it - Lincoln is on the purge list.

One thing people miss about Mr. Lincoln’s little war was that it was a response to rebellion. Lincoln deftly used the issue of slavery as a political tool to rally the votes for war - Had Lincoln lived, I seriously believe his reconciliation would have included deportation of the blacks. The two races, and I agree with Lincoln on this point, cannot share equally because one race has no investment in its founding or is particularly stirred by its principles.

You are aware that the first two quotes are not in context, the third quote was from Jefferson and that Lincoln only repeated it, and the fourth quote is a complete fabrication and Lincoln never said it?

We the People sure proved Abe wrong, didn’t we, President Obama?
