I am sure it will be blamed on a White Supremacist.
To: Enlightened1
Just shows how stupid people are and how the school system has failed them.....they clearly do not know what Abraham Lincoln is known for.

because he represents American history which is racist and elitist and incompatible with the Marxist revolution.

If we get a hot spell across the nation in the remaining weeks of summer, there are some "urban" termites who are itching to torch their neighborhoods. Why not? "Free" 40s, flatscreens, hoodies, Nike basketball shoes — just do it! Black Lives Matter!

He was the first Donald Trump.
I’m waiting for the GOP establishment to repudiate him.

I’m just guessing, but the guy who was quoted as saying :”F Abe Lincoln!” is probably black and doesn’t know anything at all about President Lincoln...except that his last name is the same as the park along the Lake Michigan.
To: nopardons
who knows. Nothing is what it seems these days.

Obama came to divide us, and he was successful in that.

Yes, I’ve been wondering who this ‘Quinton’ is.
One of the greatest tragedies to our country that Lincoln’s death represented is that he had a high priority for education of the former slaves. After he was gone, few in any power really cared about that...

IIRC at least a couple of Lincoln’s advisers begged him to repatriate all the slaves to avoid the inevitable discord and threats by former masters when they were free. But to do so the North would have had to foot the bill for the effort which the public would have crucified him for. And it had taken the imminent threat of national extinction just to get the North to finally stop the slave empire in the first place.
In hindsight, however big of a logistical nightmare it would have been would have been worth it. We spent 100 years just getting sore losers in bedsheets to quit burning churches, lynching innocent people and making unjust laws. And even after all that effort...the outcome hasn’t been very good.
