See those two diagonal struts nailed across the garage doors? I'm wondering, if you knock those out, does the whole house collapse into the crick?
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

Funny how things change. For over 100 years, the Republican Party was THE party of civil rights, such as they existed at the time. Anyone remember John Prine's song "Grandpa was a carpenter"? Specifically the line "...voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won The War..."
I wonder, come the judgement day, will you be held accountable for your beliefs according to the time and place you lived? Or, will God choose the mores and values of some time and place you've never been and hold you accountable to that set of beliefs, the way so many people are doing today to the figures of history?
There's a world of responsibility behind the words "Forgive us our sins, AS WE forgive those who sin against us." Think about it, sounds like you receive the kind of forgiveness you're willing to give out.

All of the current ones are getting rich pandering to Democrat identity politics. Does that make them Republicans?
There. FIFY.
I spose I could adduce Frederick Douglas as well. But I like Ike, who sent the 101st Airborne and federalized the Arkansas national guard, when Dixiecrat governor Orville Faubus refused to quell race riots. Yep. Soldiers stead of empty words and kneeling w/ symbols. He caught a lot of flack for that. Flack reminiscent of the present furor.
The entire subsequent crop of jerry-curled race-baiting money skimming frauds... I can't name a fave. All they do is keep people apart.
Tho the Black Panthers I dug. Mohamed Ali I dug.
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.
... and
I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Samuel L. Clemens, aka "Mark Twain". One of the first, loudest, greatest, and most effective white voice for the rights and equality of the freed slaves in the latter half of the 19th century up until his death in the early 20th century. Friend and supporter of Booker T. Washington, and U.S. Grant.

By those with a vested interest in keeping racial inequity alive, with the backing of those too ignorant to understand what Huck Finn was about.

I also don't see any further comments by @Rolanddeschain, here or in a thread more geared to political discussion. Just another drive-by by an aggrieved democrat, I suppose.

Yes and no.
Lincoln's 4th debate with Stephen Douglass made it clear where Lincoln stood with regards to equality.
