The Party of Lincoln

The Party of Lincoln | IF NEITHER OF THE TWO PARTIES HAVE CHANGED IN THE LAST TWO CENTURIES, THEN EXPLAIN WHY REPUBLICANS WERE THE ONES DEFENDING CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS LAST YEAR. DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL RACISTS. THEY SUPPORTED SLAVERY AND CREATED THE KKK. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF LINCOLN. AND WHY IT'S ALWAYS THEM WHO LOVE WAVING AROUND CONFEDERATE FLAGS SO MUCH. IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS STILL THE PARTY OF LINCOLN, THEN WHY ARE THEY HONORING THE SYMBOLS OF HIS ENEMIES? | image tagged in npc meme,abraham lincoln,republicans,confederate flag,slavery,racism | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

"Oh, you know, outside of his support for the enslavement of human beings, he was totes an honorable dude!"

Nobody wants to erase history, people would just rather not honor and look back on some of the worst atrocities in American history with rose tinted glasses. You know what group of people are interested in erasing history? Those who insist that the Civil War was fought over states rights, government overreach, or any other bullshit that wasn't slavery. Never mind the fact that the state of Texas has been sanitizing its curriculum on slavery, going so far as to imply that the slaves were simply just migrant workers; or the fact that those confederate monuments were originally commissioned in the 1950s, almost a full century after the Civil War took place.

Statues and flags do not provide a window into the past, history books do!

Then why don't we tear down all the Lincoln or Jefferson Davis statues? I mean by your own logic that's a good idea.

Did either of them fight to keep the institution of slavery going? No? Then what you said makes no f**king sense.

We should keep them actually. If we tear them down, then the Racist GOP will be able to erase the history easier
