Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln

" 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 forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much 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." -Abraham Lincoln.

Racists love that quote from Lincoln forgetting that he was a man of his times whose positions were also dictated by prudential considerations.

Indy, I saw a cartoon a while back of Ole Abe sitting on side of his bed all in disarray with a couple of empty whiskey bottles laying on the bedroom floor and his Aide was standing in the open doorway.

Ole Abe was captioned as saying, “I FREED WHAT, YESTERDAY ” ?

Lincoln may have been onto something; looking at contributions to mankind; there is the mud hut, and the termite stick.

And that stance may well be what put us in the mess we are in today. Two races, permanently at war because one race could not bear the idea of trying to accommodate or assimilate the other. Didn't do us any favors. GD

Think they can print that on a shirt ? 😂

Yep, if he hadnt been killed...
What African country did he repatriate some to?

You're saying he did what was popular.

So why did he repatriate some to, iirc, Liberia after the war was over and they were freed?

But he WAS in favor of killing 258,000 southerners in order to strengthen the Federal Government....

So?

Commies love to call people racists. In fact, a high ranking commie invented the term.

You might want to hold off on using it at least until the negroes stop burning down the cities,.....if they stop this time.

There is but one race......human
Many shades, but one skin pigment...melanin

(Probably didn't spell that right)

There's a lot more than skin color going on between the races.

An overwhelming segment of humanity would disagree.

The colorblind can see that's true, unless they are dumb enough to not want to.

Bullshit, human is a species...race is specific sections of.

And even species is up for grabs as an awful lot of us are derived from more than just "modern human".

Abe Lincoln, Leupold scopes; both scum and don’t work.

Campfire 101

that was nothing, compared to what the Superintendent of the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy said.

Darwin was racist. Look at his subtitle.

I don't think less of anyone based on amount of skin pigment. Nor do I owe anyone based on skin pigment. I disagree with Abe, but neither am I guilty of the sins of past generations. And I'm not interested in aligning my opinion based on that of the majority of so called humanity.

I shall make this very easy for you.

You are an oxygen thief and you should keep the hell away from me and mine.

Now kindly go away and expire where I cannot smell the stench.
