HIPSTER LINCOLN
… lets just talk about this for a god damn second. This photo here is a classic example of how the education system of America has fucking failed us. While Lincoln may have signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he did not give a fuck about black people (just like George Bush… good call Kanye)
His official statement regarding it was: ” 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… I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race>”
Also, same day he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he hung 200 Native Americans.
…. how’s that for your historical “anti-racist”?
