@mistasmif31 U are an American before black though. Do not ask what a president can do for your ethnic race, ask what you can do for your country.

@mistasmif31 George Bush appointed the first black secretary of defense and state. (Rice and Powell). He won the most minority votes ever in Texas as governor and appointed a Hispanic supreme justice. Black people had the highest wage increases ever under Bush. Republican and Democrat are about the same, do not use tags to generalize.

Lincoln like many other might have had personal convictions to free slaves but to say he didn't care about slaves is a strong point. Lincoln could have easily catered to the south and let slavery continue in some states. He could have brushed black people aside as a forgotten race. I am not as educated on this as I would like to be though.

Lincoln freed the slaves as basically a slap in the face to the south. You need money to fight wars, and the south's main staple was slavery. So if I abolish slavery, the south cant buy bullets. It was a strategy of war, he did'nt give a tinkers dam about slave per se.

don't really thank lincoln cause if the confederates(southern) states would have joined the union when lincoln asked he might not have freed the slaves. him freeing the slaves was really only a punishment for union having to go to war and taking over the confederates states. it's funny a republican president freed the slaves but these day's the republican's today can give a fuck less about blacks if we don't get our shit together they going to put us back in legalize slavery
