    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Tom Scocca

    That statue - paid for by freed slaves, dedicated by every black organization in DC, christened by Frederick Douglass - reflects the popular African-American view of Lincoln in the decade after his death. We'd build it differently today, but I we should not disdain them.https://twitter.com/tomscocca/status/1276907876737527809 …

    Hey @RichLowry the Baseball Crank ducked the question about National Review choosing to illustrate his piece with the kneeling statue, but it’s presumably more yours to answer, so: how’d you pick that one? pic.twitter.com/XqI2vuP1WX

        I don't choose the featured images on my posts, but I have no problem with using an image of an honor to Abe Lincoln erected by the black Americans of his day.

        Lol how was Lincoln himself uncomfortable with a statue that was built after he was assassinated?

        Sure Dan. “By all accounts, Douglass, the great orator and abolitionist, was not pleased with the monument, which depicted Lincoln holding a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation while towering over a kneeling black man who had broken his chains.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/06/27/emancipation-monument-in-washington-dc-targeted-by-protests/ …

        Every quote cited in this article can be offset with praise from Douglass.. In the same speech... Cut and paste

        Now do the popular african-american view of white politicians from 20-60 years after lincoln's death! We white people betrayed lincoln's legacy and have no right to shelter beneath it.
