Lincoln's got white racism original sin all over his ass and
Foner cannot wash that off.
It doesn't come off.
it is indelible.
It is his skin color.
Lincoln was America's second most successful Stokely.
Jefferson was the first.
Lincoln really needed real negroes, much later in history, like Henry Louis Gates, (not Ken Burns, who is white, descendant of deep south slave owners, of all things, maybe on his mother's side, I hope) to confirm regarding him, and for posterity, that he had nevertheless been right all along; because, quite frankly, regarding radical white males, and as David Kaiser and others have quite insightfully noted, it can now be seen, and widely interpreted, on the left, that as a white racist male, Lincoln had not himself properly ever been in a position racially, or properly able to rely on his own judgments regarding race or racism, but rather had just been instinctively and blindly guessing his radical way forward in the Civil War toward negro equality and emancipation, as he went along, growing as he went.
Lincoln's legacy really needs to get the imprimatur from real radical negroes now, not white Stokelys, or the Lincoln Monument is history baby!
I personally cannot stand Lincoln, so these wild ass negroes can tear it down. It is what white Lincoln Stokelys richly deserve.
