“Well did any of your family write letters or e-mails like this?”

Add this to your list of things said by slave-state born American heroes:

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way 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.”

Never said Lincoln wasn’t a racist. I have explained to you before that Lincoln was anti-slavery. The only people who were completely in the moral right in regards to race relations were the radical abolitionist who were anti-slavery and anti-racist.

If you dislike Lincoln because he was racist you must hate Jefferson Davis because he was pro-slavery and racist.
