Good evening, Sons and Daughters of Liberty! The following information is
from the book, FACTS THE HISTORIANS LEAVE OUT by John Tilley, pgs.. 21-22.
If the following is fact, then once again, "Boy, have we been bamboozled!"
The Emancipation Proclamation bears date January 1, 1863. It so happened
that on August 14, 1862, LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS BEFORE, there was an
interesting conference at the White House. By invitation of Mr. Lincoln, a
group of free negroes was there to hear his words of wisdom. Among other
matters he discussed his purpose to colonize "people of African descent."
Those present must have sat wide-eyed as they listened to his estimate of
their race. The following was what they heard:
"Why should people of your race be colonized, and where? This is perhaps,
the first question for proper consideration.
"You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference
than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or
wrong, I need not discuss; but this physical difference is a great
disadvantage to us both, as I think. Your race suffers very greatly, many of
them, by living among us, while ours suffers from your presence. In a word,
we suffer on each side.
"If this is admitted, it affords a reason, at least, why we should be
seperated."
"You here are freemen, I suppose. Perhaps you have long been free, or all
your lives. Your race is suffering, in my judgement, the greatest wrong
inflicted on any people."
"But, even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being
placed on an equality with the white race. The aspiration of men is to enjoy
equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent not a single
man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours."
The above is quoted solely to acquaint you with what Mr. Lincoln saw fit to
say on that occasion.
By today's standards, Lincoln would have been deemed a rascist! Knowing the
crap they fed me in public school (in the fifties and sixties) I can't
imagine what they are teaching (lying) to the youth of today!
