@ajnr6 Lincoln believed that American democracy meant equal rights and equality of opportunity. But he drew a line between basic natural rights such as freedom from slavery and political and civil rights like voting. He believed it was up to the states to decide who should exercise these rights.

As I said, he wasn't a racist. You're purposefully mischaracterizing him to push a narrative. Abraham Lincoln had done more to help the black community than any other human being ever (maybe with the exception of MLK and the civil rights movement, but considering the fact that Abraham Lincoln paved the way for that by actually abolishing slavery, you could still say he did the most.)

@Meme Dealer420 not a mischaracterization, the man was racist

@ajnr6 That's a mischaracterization. Abraham Lincoln did believe that black people should have the same rights as white people, he just held off from guaranteeing them their rights to prevent another uprising in the south.

abraham lincoln was still racist. he may have abolished slavery but he still didn't believe that black people should have the same rights as white people

@Dolphinman 300 I don't even think he was racist, or white supremacist per say. I also think he truly did believe that slavery was bad. It's okay to believe that, but also acknowledge that he was indeed hypocritical for owning slaves.

@Meme Dealer420 but he did write a version of the declaration advocating for abolishing slavery, he clearly didn’t care much about having slaves but he did want to gradually get rid of the system. All I’m saying is he’s better than other people at the time and I don’t think he actually had a sense of superiority like most racists do

Thomas Jefferson is one of the worst examples of someone that was anti-slavery. The majority of the founding fathers were anti-slavery, surprisingly. A better example of a non-racist founding father is John Adams. He never owned a slave, and regularly condemned slavery. His son, John Quincy Adams was also a fierce abolitionist. Also: Washington was [probably] a lot less racist than Jefferson, considering he actually freed the slaves he owned upon dying.

@Meme Dealer420 exactly

That's like saying the Roman Empire was built on slavery, or the Ghana Empire was built on slavery, or South Africa was built on slavery, or the Ottoman Empire was built on slavery, or China was built on slavery, or all of the UK was built on slavery, or Brazil was built on slavery, or Columbia was built on slavery, or literally any African country was built on slavery. I can keep going.

@jivel dyhaeris of course no problem! :)

@Blue ooooh no wonder I didn't get it lull, thanks! :)

She said "Are those Mike and Ike's?"

@Hmm yea I know but it's funny because it's like watching toddlers poke at the babysitter

Bruh he’s literally their friend...he comes onto the stream because he wants to hang out with them.

Seriously. I haven't smoked in a while, and it pissed me off.

was it annoying ? ngl this situation seems fun

Yeah they must be, geez.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that

he was indeed an old racist.

The cringe starts at 0:01 actually

Based founding fathers, heck yeah

Probably.

They don’t say anything cancelled able lmao
