Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thought ya'll would find this interesting. One guy says the two racist quotes are from President Lincoln. http://www.nolanchart.com/article1640.html " The first quote comes from an 1857 speech given in Springfield, IL. In that speech, Lincoln went on to outline how he wanted " separation of the races " to be achieved; by deporting African-Americans back to Africa. " Let us be brought to believe that it is morally right to transfer the African to his native clime, " he exhorted his audience, " and we shall find a way to do it, however great the task may be. " The second quote, from 1862, indicates that Lincoln held the same separationist views after becoming President. On that occasion, he took pains to inform " the first ever delegation of black leaders to visit the White House " how much his race suffered from their presence. The newsletter article's author - who may or may not be Ron - comments that Lincoln's racist " views make Duke look like a member of the NAACP. " Significantly, he disagrees emphatically with those views: " Should we follow Lincoln here?... Of course not. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
