No one denies Douglass's feelings about Lincoln. But Douglass didn't like Lincoln being depicted as superior to Blacks. He was clear about that.https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/06/20/opinion/other-man-lincoln-statue/ …
EXACTLY. Read the dedication speech. His opening lines could NOT have been more sarcastic. Good lord people are willfully stupid.
I think you are missing the point of these folks hatred of Lincoln. He had the wrong skin color. End of story.
beautifully expressed
