I would suggest that you read a little history of Lincoln. Then in order to prove your claim you will need to prove that he never said any of the well attributed racist statements or that he never uttered any other racist statements that history has forgotten. Proving a negative is not possible.

I have read a great deal on Lincoln -- likely more than you - and I know exactly what he said and the context in which he was saying it.

But if you want the discussion, please define what a racist is. Only with that definition settled, can proceed to the arguments pro and con.

A racist is a person who claims that their race is superior to other races. You claim to be an expert but ignore evidence that proves your assertion wrong. I know you can't prove your assertion, you might try to restate it; but asserting an opinion with out any supporting evidence does not make it so, my guess is that our discussion is over.
