Lincoln said what?! Hey, is that racist?!

Racism, bigotry and stupidity unfortunately go hand and hand. This is an unwritten truth.

We hear so many times that Southern flag is nothing but just about racism and all its leaders, soldiers and citizens during the war 1861 to 1865 just a bench blacking population that wanted nothing to do with social progress of all races that populated our country, especially those of African descent. I'm sure you know who I am talking about.

Abraham Lincoln is known by many to be a political leader but he was also a great violator of the Constitution, a manipulator and unfortunately had a few hints of a racist as most of the leadership during that time period. Keep in mind, he was elected primarily by Northern voters!

Fourth Debate with Stephen A. Douglass at Charleston, Illinois
September 18, 1858

Here is one of his famous speeches, as we say these days, straight from the horse mouth:

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, [applause] — that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, not 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 for ever 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 the negro 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. [Cheers and laughter.] My understanding is that I can just let her alone

Why the fuk u look like that.. N take that dirty ass confedrate flag down the south will never rise again

[cycloneous]

@2k11crew First, that's not a Confederate flag, that is the flag of the State of Georgia. Look it up before commenting, it makes you look ignorant, stupid and uneducated.

Secondly, as to "why the fuk i look like that" well, you're going to have to ask a geneticist about that.

Last but not least, we can either have an intelligent debate or insult each other till our fingers are blue from typing. Your choice and move.
