In the 1858 Lincoln/Douglas debates Lincoln said:
"I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races--that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference beteween 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."
Quote is taken from (The South Was Right, James and Walter Kennedy, Pelican Publishing Co., 1994, p. 27) End note #41 of chapter 1. Abraham Lincoln, as cited in The Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858, edited by R.W. Johannsen (Oxford University Press, New York, NY: 1965), pp. 162-163.
So surely we must get the Lincoln Memorial taken down.
