Remember four score and 20 years ago? If you count the actual adoption of the Constitution it was about 15 years less than that that we fought a war to correct the defect of slavery in that document. That was in less than one persons lifetime that 500,000 people died (overwhelmingly white people) to ban slavery and live up to our principle of equality under law. You can't say this country is not trying.

Sadly Lincoln was not for racial equality. He clearly said that he did not think they were capable of leadership positions. He was against slavery. We still have such a long journey ahead of us.

It's been called America's "original sin". - But not just African Americans, also Native Americans, Asians, etc. (Micks, Kikes, Dumb Swedes, Pollacks, and so forth)
Ending prejudice against any and all other Americans should be buried, but never forgotten. There will be some people who want to resurrect it in times of strife, real or imagined.

The people we keep putting in office sure aren't making the journey any shorter.

With the Constitution changed to eradicate slavery, all the amendments passed, all the laws, aid, programs, and the election of a black president twice, Lincoln would Not say that racism is still systemic in this country. He was honest after all.

Lincoln was not in favor of racial equality.
The myth of Lincoln is strong ... but a myth nonetheless.
