It was between two young baggers who were talking about an article one of them had read regarding President Lincoln. Both men happened to be black. One of them informed the other that President Lincoln cared nothing about blacks and was actually a racist.

With one or two well chosen pings, I could turn this into a civil war thread. I won't do it. But I could. Instead, I'll just make a crack and say I hadn't realized Lew Rockwell was actually a black grocery store clerk, and leave it at that.

Why, whatever do you mean???

Thank you very much for NOT turning this into a Civil War thread. There are plenty of those already.

The article wasn't about Lincoln, but there are plenty of other threads on that issue. Rather, the piece was about how reparations and "white guilt" are not healthy for society.

I prefer not to draw battlelines on this thread; the author's closing statement sums it up pretty well.

Lew Rockwell is too surly and rude to last very long in a well-managed supermarket.

Isn't it funny how radicals at either end of the spectrum both require factious history to support their ideology? In this case, they live the same fiction.
