Seriously....I was searching for something completely unrelated, and I found out that these racist conservatives and the other racist like them have been spreading this condescending meme around.
So we Black people have to kiss and eat this white savior Abraham Lincoln's ashes and not call him a racist because "tHiS RePuBLicAN fREeD tHe BlACk SLaVes AnD DiEd FoR iT. YoU ArE aLL DiSReSPecTfUL iNgrATes. HoW DaRE you HaTE White ZaDDy?! He SaVeD YaLL."
Abraham Lincoln is really not much different from the everyday casually racist modern white liberals, Independents, libertarians, moderates, apoliticals, conservatives, and alleged "Anti-Racists." Lyndon Johnson was a well-known avid racist, yet he approved and signed Civil Rights legislation. Does that make him any less racist? HELL NO. Therefore, Abraham Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation doesn't make him any less racist either.
This quote alone shows why Abraham Lincoln is racist:
"During his famous debates with Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln explained to the crowd:
“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 … 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 from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a 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.”
Lincoln was no different than most white males, North and South, at the time. He was a white supremacist."
Any white supremacist is racist by default.
