On Monday morning, Twitter erupted after Kanye West posted a screenshot of a text exchange he had with a friend about Abraham Lincoln.

Twitter was set ablaze after Kanye West posted a screenshot of a text exchange he had with a friend named ‘Steve.’

“Abe Lincoln freed and protected the slaves and he was Republican,” Steve said to Kanye in a text message.

“Republicans were the ones who helped black people; Democrats protected the rights of the slave owners of the south,” Steve continued.

Kanye West replied, “I’m gonna tweet this”

Steve responded with, “Those are facts”

They don’t teach that truth in school, any school.

I’ve told this to a number of blacks before and at first they react , in some cases with vehement disbelief until I have them look it up for themselves. Their next reactions are priceless. They suddenly realize how much they’ve been lied to.

Maybe the worm is turning, Kayne West may lead the people out of the desert. I’ve had the same experience with black people I know. It’s a “then came the dawn” moment.

Charleton Heston marched with MLK, was a Republican and NRA president. Something else no one teaches. Skin color don’t make the man. The man makes it a mute point.

Democrats not only supported slavery in Lincoln’s day, but also supported its expansion into new states. Later they started the KKK, introduced segregation, while Republicans by congressional vote supported the Civil Rights Act while Democrats were generally against it.

It is something to see, isn't it. Curiously though they don't seem to want to go any further in discussing how much and how egregiously they've been hoodwinked. Where I'm currently working I've befriended a young black man and told him this. He didn't believe me so he had to go right to Google(to him Google is Holy Writ). This was about me telling him the Democrats created the KKK. I put his reluctance at wanting to discuss the history of it all to not wanting to admit having believed a monstrous lie. As if not wanting to admit having been played for a fool.

There is a peculiar gray area between what can be attributed to willful ignorance and outright brainwashing.

This won't end well for Kayne. (IMO)

I’m just having a hard time generating any real sympathy for those too lazy or stupid as to be unaware of a basic historical fact that is as far away as a smart phone for the intellectually curious.

I realize it's a blog, but that's an awful modern "journalism" clickbait headline. What's next:

"Kanye West Tweets About Republicans Freeing Slaves, And People Are Freaking Out"
"Kanye West Tweets About Republicans Freeing Slaves, And That's A Good Thing"
