Black People Politics : Why do so many blacks vote Democrat

[Senegal]

You are confused.
I said Lincoln's primary goal was to save the union and that slavery was a huge issue in the states. The states and lincoln are separate entities you know. I also gave you the name of a great book on the subject but to paraphrase you said," books we don't need no stinking books". It's from an old movie you probably haven't seen either and would consider a "white boy movie". ((Gold of Sierra Madre) Goggle it.

Now here a little write up on the book you don't want to acknowledge. Force yourself to read it.

Stark Mad Abolitionists: Lawrence, Kansas, and the Battle over Slavery in the Civil War Era

The ongoing struggle for freedom and equality.

In May, 1854, Massachusetts was in an uproar. A judge, bound by the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, had just ordered a young African American man who had escaped from slavery in Virginia and settled in Boston to be returned to bondage in the South. An estimated fifty thousand citizens rioted in protest. Observing the scene was Amos Adams Lawrence, a wealthy Bostonian, who “waked up a stark mad Abolitionist.” As quickly as Lawrence waked up, he combined his fortune and his energy with others to create the New England Emigrant Aid Company to encourage abolitionists to emigrate to Kansas to ensure that it would be a free state.

The town that came to bear Lawrence’s name became the battleground for the soul of America, with abolitionists battling pro-slavery Missourians who were determined to make Kansas a slave state. The onset of the Civil War only escalated the violence, leading to the infamous raid of William Clarke Quantrill when he led a band of vicious Confederates (including Frank James, whose brother Jesse would soon join them) into town and killed two hundred men and boys.

Stark Mad Abolitionists shows how John Brown, Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, Sam Houston, and Abraham Lincoln all figure into the story of Lawrence and “Bleeding Kansas.” The story of Amos Lawrence’s eponymous town is part of a bigger story of people who were willing to risk their lives and their fortunes in the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality.

Youre the only one that seems confused.

Your words....

"I said Lincoln went to war to save the union.
I later said as time went on his views on this changed"

Now youre saying...
"I said Lincoln's primary goal was to save the union and that slavery was a huge issue in the states."

Your going to have to get your story together and be more consistent.

Again someone writing a book has nothing to do with what the facts say. Lincoln could have cared less about slavery. Would you go to war over something you didnt care about and actually offered to the other side you went to war with in a effort to prevent said war?

No you don't. Otherwise YOU conservatives would not be endorsing the odious voter disenfranchisement so wide spread, YOU would not be shutting down polling stations in the name of whatever lame excuse pulled out of the hat, You would not ever go near voting for an openly racist politician much less support one after the fact, YOU would not be giving away trillions of dollars to multibillion dollar monopolies that actually stole those dollars to begin with, YOU would not be stealing monies from the schools, hospitals, roads and bridges, fire departments, public water systems, etc etc etc either for another chained big box store owned by yet another billionaire can move into town putting all local small businesses out or to put towards building another bomb to throw at some brown people half way around the world. Need I go on?

YOU don't believe in any of that crap you spouted in the above quoted piece, otherwise YOU would have not voted the way you did.

If conservatives wanted a level playing field they would surrender all the ill gotten gains whites have acquired on the backs of Blacks. Dont believe for a minute they want a level playing field.

all the conservatives I know we want a colorblind society with a level playing field for all. What exactly do you have against this policy?

No you don't. Otherwise YOU conservatives would not be endorsing the odious voter disenfranchisement so wide spread, YOU would not be shutting down polling stations in the name of whatever lame excuse pulled out of the hat, You would not ever go near voting for an openly racist politician much less support one after the fact, YOU would not be giving away trillions of dollars to multibillion dollar monopolies that actually stole those dollars to begin with, YOU would not be stealing monies from the schools, hospitals, roads and bridges, fire departments, public water systems, etc etc etc either for another chained big box store owned by yet another billionaire that moves into town putting all local small businesses out or to put those monies towards building another bomb to throw at some brown people half way around the world.

I think he shoulda stuck with drinking, doing drugs and chasing women. He'd be farther ahead.

You cannot make the discussions personal.

Unless he said he did those things, it's a violation to go there.

You gotta stay on topic.
