Thread: Since Abraham Lincoln was so instrumental in ENDING SLAVERY, WHY ISN'T

HE A MORE CELEBRATED FIGURE IN.. ? THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

This is an honest question, and I mean to offend no one.

I think they're still ticked about being enslaved in the first place.
Plus Lincoln didn't even really do it intentionally, the emancipation proclamation was just to give the north an edge during the civil war. He was still a good president, but not completely the savior he's made out to be.

Everbody knows that no white man ever helped them do anything. Blacks started and won the civil war by themselves just like they participated, and won Civil Rights all by themselves.

White people haven't ever done anything but harm black people ever.

Just like those two white kids in Knoxville raped, tortured and murdered themselves in an attempt to discredit black people at this crucial point in their history.
