Yeah, I know that this quote has been attributed to everyone from Mark Twain to Lisa Simpson, but this is just soooo appropriate here.

Our education system isn’t heading anywhere. It’s already the bottom of the barrel.
These dumb indian students, excuse me - native american students, are too dumb to know that the American Indians owned thousands of slaves. I don’t think they ‘bought’ all of them.

No, he was a Briton who was enslaved by the Irish.
The Irish continued to raid other nations for slaves for another five hundred years.
Then it is time to invalidate islam as its’ prophet owned THOUSANDS of slaves.
Kids today are so ignorant. He invented the Mark V Town Car, for cripe’s sake!
They probably believe he was a vampire slayer as well.
So Lincoln's father owned a slave!
Blacks owned slaves, too. Let’s ban blacks.
You can fool some of the people all of the time..
One reason Abe disliked his father was that the old man loaned him out to neighbors like a rented mule and kept his wages. Old man Lincoln was a drinker too.
Once Abe reached the age of majority, 21?, he left home like a shot. Abe loved his stepmother dearly, no remorse when Pappy died. So Abraham didn’t own slaves, he was a slave.
As usual the left serves up warm mule-droppings. It’s like trying to live with a golden retreiver who thinks he’s your equal. “Let’s talk about slavery, Rex.” Rex: “Woof!”
The stupidity and ignorance of our college campuses knows no limits.
Abe Lincoln certainly had a connection to slavery, in the same way that most republicans did. They just missed a detail on the connection. As usual.
The next thing these TWEETS will want, is the Lincoln Monument torn down, the Lincoln grave removed and Lincoln removed from the Penny.
They will scream racist at Ford MOTOR Corp for producing a car called A Lincoln.
I guess it must run in the family name.
We’re always seeing the hatred of the left for the `alt-right’. I don’t want to get into a semantics tussle, but let’s say, hatred for conservatives or for anyone who doesn’t accept their dogma.
And we see it in many of the articles posted here, and in sports, academia, even in the GOP (e) because Captain Obvious told me the other day that they pretty much control all the news organs, AKA the Ministry of Truth.
Do you think they have any idea of the contempt that we have for them, that we think of them as malevolent children?
More than a few black folk owned black slaves, too.
College students are nothing but adult sized toddlers who stomp their feet and scream until they get their way. That’s it. Let’s tear down all the Lincoln statues and all the schools named after him and rip up everything he did while POTUS.
according to a census just before the war broke out,less than 10% percent of the Southerners owned slaves. The figure I recall for readings is 6%.
Of interest; Confederate General Lee did not own slaves but Union General Grant owned slaves.
When all the statues are taken down, schools and roads renamed, there will be nothing to remind us of our past. So what is this slavery thing you’re talking about./s
“One ‘d’ was good enough for God, but not for the Todds.” ~~~~~~~Abe Lincoln.
