San Francisco may remove Abraham Lincoln’s name from a high school, because a district committee says the 16th president — who abolished slavery — did not demonstrate that “black lives mattered to him.”
Lincoln is one of dozens of historical figures who the city school district’s renaming committee argued led lives so rife with racism, oppression or abuse that their names should not grace its buildings, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
“The discussion for Lincoln centered around his treatment of First Nation peoples, because that was offered first,” Jeremiah Jeffries, chairman of the renaming committee and a first-grade teacher, told the paper. “Once he met criteria in that way, we did not belabor the point.”
“Lincoln, like the presidents before him and most after, did not show through policy or rhetoric that black lives ever mattered to them outside of human capital and as casualties of wealth building,” Jeffries said.
Well this is kinda refreshing, Lincoln was a man that did like “Racist” jokes and stories.
He in a round about way “Owned” slaves. (wife’s property in 1800’s actually belongs to husband, therefore, her inherited slaves were his).
He wanted to clean America out of them by shipping them out of the country. His words to non-emancipation supporting lawmakers to calm them and support this “War Effort” were; “I promise you, I will free the country of this Black Host after the war”.
He actually knew the blacks were like a “Host” or leach that would suck the country dry of wealth to support them.
It has always amazed me how many blacks think Lincoln was their savior, he freed them to hopefully stop them from working for the war, he didn’t free any slaves in Maryland, Kentucky, or Delaware. Those slaves were still in bondage to their owners. He didn’t want to free all the slaves.
Since Lincoln was killed, history rewrote his true intentions to elevate him and his memory to an almost “God-Like” deity. Leaving out his many promises, and statements to the contrary.
He truly thought Blacks were subhuman, inferior, and that the two races would never get along in the grand scheme or things. His vision was send them away and make everyone happy.
Now that today we have reexamined his words and thoughts we know that he really was by todays standards a “Racist”.
Nonsense just more racist lies
cant stand you people
Who can’t you stand? Please be more specific!
NO stupid > he was Just the ONE WHO Freed ALL of them from Slavery !!!
His ONLY mistake was NOT sending them ALL back to Africa as
He should have done !!!!!
The people who want to do this to the man who freed slaves is a bunch of assholes. No other words fit this move. What in the hell is this country coming to, our history is being destroyed!
Has anyone noticed how A.A.’s are now dominating nearly every commercial on TV?
Not only that they are forcing interracial couples on us! There are so many black on white couples that is not the norm but the are forcing it on us!
You see the ignorance of people such as 1129 seem to ignore and distort the facts of History AGAIN…Considering the time frame he lived in the people he was surrounded by and… you MORON IT WAS the 1800s!! he freed the slaves so shut up and move on.
you people are the racist, the REAL PROBLEM!! the real danger to EVERYONES FREEDOM!! disgusting vile marxist haters and destroyers I get it it’s your mantra…destroy everything to rubble burn it all down!! You know what! Its your kind of people that need to be ground into the dirt ground to dust and burnt to the ground. If you had half the Fortitude lincoln had. you would pay your own bills instead of your government doing it for you!! Because of BLM im beginning to despise you and your ilk…i served with men i would die for as brothers regardless of their skin color. Guys like you. Id piss on your grave and escort you off US soil..and thats being nice!!!
Hey Jeremiah Jeffries, if Lincoln didn’t care about the blacks? Why did he free them? Oh Lincoln was a Republican and it was Republicans who pushed to get blacks freed fyi. Not DEMS!
He only freed slaves in the states of rebellion, not any slaves in Kentucky, Maryland or Delaware. That is a true fact, the emancipation was just an effort to cause problems and work stoppages in the south. Read a History book Moron ! He didn’t free all the slaves, and he actually had no legal right to free any slaves in those states either. It took legislation to legally free slaves.
You are such an idiot! Of course it took legislation! But it was his legislation push! At what point did I say anything about the Emancipation Proclamation. You are correct my friend, the Emancipation Proclamation only effected rebel states. However, smart ass, what was the 13th amendment? When was the 13th amendment signed? Who signed it? Now you read a history book you MORON! Lincoln is credited for freeing ALL slaves Jackass.
