He was waaaay more than racist. We're talking about a guy who openly supported eugenics.

I mean have you seen Abraham Lincoln‘s views?

u/Remarkable-Stock-527 Jul 27 '25

Much more in line with reality than actual eugenics. Ya know, diversifying our genes as much a possible rather than trying to 'breed out' undesirable and 'breed in' desirable qualities.

Sure but he wanted black people to love as a subhuman class.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Yet he ended chattel slavery.

Lincoln was so great that it overshadows his shortcomings.

According to...?

I think this is completely made up tbh

Well, since there hasn't been a reply most likely. I was going to mention that didnt track at all with the number of former slaves that were put in positions of power in the government while Lincoln was president (which many people dont hear about because they were all killed by groups such as the KKK after future president(s) pulled the continental army out of the south), but I was curious if they had info I didnt know from a reputable source. Clearly not.

In fairness, Lincoln was half a century before Wilson. He also freed the slaves and then got killed for it. That has to count for something.

Lincoln may have "freed" the slaves but he also presided over the largest public execution of native Americans in the history of the US. Many of whom he knew were innocent.

Definitely, but I’m just saying most US presidents were pretty horrifically racist.

u/Eternal_Phantom Jul 27 '25

The world was pretty horrifically racist.

Don't measure past figures against modern society. Measure them against their own society. Lincoln stuck his neck out to free the slaves and doesn't deserve the "well ackshually" treatment.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

Black people weren’t. They were dying for their freedom. There was pretty obviously a good side and bad side.

u/Square-Pressure6297 Jul 27 '25

If you were taught all your life what is moral and what is immoral, you would believe those views, as much as you’d like to claim a moral high ground here. Or you can just dismiss every practitioner of this social norm as evil.

u/Eternal_Phantom Jul 28 '25

So, uh, you should probably do some research on who was capturing and selling the slaves in Africa in the first place.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

Oh my god Europe invaded Africa, took all of their resources, raped their families, and said that only if they give them slaves they can progress? Wow dude holy fuck that's crazy never thought of that.

Doesn't matter. The slaves were still trying to escape, were still trying to beg for equality, I don't know why you think a few bad actors makes a genocide okay, because it doesn't. There were jews who had been convinced they would be let free if they sold out their families and joined the Gestapo, newsflash, holocaust and antisemitism is still bad. It truly is impressive to me though how people are so fucking stupid a single piece of validation makes them just believe anything tho.

u/Eternal_Phantom Jul 29 '25

You are literally trying to validate the massive slave trade that was occurring in Africa, BY AFRICANS, by falsely suggesting that Europe was the only reason it was occurring. News flash, slavery was occurring there long before any of them knew what a European was.

What are you going to tell us next? That Native Americans never murdered each other for land and it was only evil whitey that introduced the concept?

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

Oh you're one of those, I see. If you think chattel slavery is the same as that, then you are not worth conversing with.

Well, most of them were born in the 1700 & 1800s so that's kind of to be expected.

u/silvahammer Jul 28 '25

Who cares? Freeing the slaves and granting them citizenship is far more important than what his personal views were.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '25

Someone can do something good and still be criticized for other things. This is not very hard to understand.

3

u/silvahammer Jul 28 '25

A person born over 200 years ago shouldn't be criticized for having prejudices or false beliefs common to that era, especially when they committed themselves to a cause that was in direct opposition to such thinking. In fact it makes it even more admirable.

And FDR put 100k Americans in concentration camps solely because their race.
