Lincoln is not on the record saying blacks were racially inferior to blacks and you cannot put him there.

Nonsense - He IS and he DID:

'But even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race. ... The aspiration of men is to enjoy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent, not a single man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours.'
Please define the terms "inferior" and "equal" in your fantasy universe.

He's talking about social equality, not moral or intellectual equality.

Your premise is laughably false, and I feel certain you know that.

What is it about Lincoln's quotes that offend you?
