Lincoln racist

Holy crap! He said that?!

Yeah, easy to verify via the sources printed at the bottom (because ya never know, lotta fake quotes from everybody out there).

Although the explanation the apologists offer is that he said that stuff simply for the sake of the debate, that he really wasn't really that really racist. Which only makes it worse because I'd rather deal with an honest racist then one who's either hiding it or pretending to be one to impress the audience. I'd rather know what I'm dealing with as distasteful as it may be than not know.

And isn't that was Trump fans say...that he didn't really mean it? No wonder Trump tries to compare himself to Lincoln.

Yeah, or he's trolling or playing 4D Chess, he's speaking in code...

One of them once told me, "if you knew New York slang, then you would understand..." I'm from New York City.

Another one said a similar thing the other month, about how they speak in Queens where he's from. We have family friends who lived on Corydon Road in Jamaica Estates. I had literally passed Trump's house there back a couple in the 1970s without knowing it till 15ya or so. Not that I would have cared, nor did they. They don't speak in a lingo that I don't understand.

You know...Lincoln could be code...its interesting how world leaders use it at certain times.

Code for him being racist?

Something for you to think about...

I figure it's just riding the myth of the Great Emancipator, Lincoln the White Messiah who lead a war to free the slaves. So if Trump now wears the Lincoln crown, how could he possibly be racist? It's a cover for racism.

Remember, they also try to make the Civil War a Republican vs Democrat thing instead of North vs South. So therefore as head of the party, it's Trump against the racist Democrats.

That's what the leaders want people to believe "Lincoln" means. I'm serious. Leaders/allies use codes. This isn't a new idea.
