“Almost everyone in the 19th Century was a racist. Even Abraham Lincoln ....”

A rather broad statement. Abe Lincoln believed all men were not equal in their inherited abilities, but deserved the freedom to exercise what abilities they possessed. For their own benefit, without a slave master.

Why is it that today, in the 21st century, that an Asian student is held back to allow an African American with lower grades to have access to same college? Is it not evidence that liberals believe that some races have superior skills and need to be held back so that those with less can succeed?

I think if Abe Lincoln were alive he would have disagreed with many of these race based distinctions and arguments that are employed to insure equal outcome.

Lincoln had no taste for holding any man back.

If you selected colleges students solely by GPA’s and SAT scores,Asians would dominate completely and it would be white students hurt the most,not blacks,most of come from ghetto schools where top colleges like Berkeley and Harvard are merely pipe dreams.
I still contend that Asians are no smarter than whites,blacks or Latinos.
They just WORK harder than the above groups.
