If he did, he would not be alone. The Lincoln said the same thing a few years prior....
Lincoln never said any such thing. He indicated that there must be a position of superior and inferior and then in the next sentence said that blacks were meant to have the blessings of the D of I.
There is no way to shoehorn a master/slave relation into that position.

Yes Walt. He did say such a thing, and the adendum you speak of is nowhere to be found near that quote:
"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. I say, upon the occasion, I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the black should be denied everything. I do not understand that because I do not want a Negro woman for a slave, I must necessarily want her for a wife." - Lincoln, 8/17/1858.
