Setting The Record Straight...


By Thornton Crowe

Over the years I am stunned at those little moments on TV where reporters go out and ask the ‘man on the street’ where a country is or who the first president of the US’s name; only to find that people have no idea about of people, events and history going on around them. It is striking to me more and more that Common Core is having a field day, dummying down our youth but a lot of the folks interviewed are adults – not kids. Benghazi was and will never be a guy named Ben Ghazi and Lincoln was not our first President.

Interestingly, as we round to his birthday and Black History month, I have long been curious as to why the Black community herald’s Lincoln as one of their ‘heroes.’ The truth is, he was a separatist in every sense of the word. He never believed that white and black people could ever live together in equality. There are several books that reveal this through the scholarship of Lincoln’s own papers and speeches. And before you start screaming racist, please note: the editor of Ebony Magazine, Lerone Bennett, Jr, penned Forced To Glory (2000) – a book about this very subject that was the forerunner in the expose on these papers and Lincoln’s writings.

Interviews in Bennett’s own words from his research: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEvxKZEzILM,https://youtu.be/kpe4XSw085s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF0NoUjmwBE, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOSoMsroAEc)

The Civil War was not started over slavery. Quite the contrary, it was taxation (imagine) tariffs between the North and South. The southern states could not afford the high tariffs imposed on goods from the North so they decided to secede from the Union. Meaning they wanted to break away from the United States. Abraham Lincoln, in spite of it being their Constitutional guaranteed right to do so, decided to declare martial law in the South to stop the process.

As for slavery and Lincoln’s hand in the emancipation, it’s really quite simple. He had plans for resettlement – meaning, he wanted to send the slaves back to Africa; one of his papers made this vision clear as he wrote, he wanted the West White. As long as slaves belonged to white men, Lincoln had no jurisdiction over their removal. However, once freed, he had every intention of deporting them. He discussed this with leaders in the Black community. There were experiments that went a rye, i.e. the Panama Canal area and a settlement in Africa that perished from the weather/environs.

Had he not been assassinated, this plan would have been implemented. So you can see, if he had been successful, we would never have had any black people here unless they came back after relocation. Furthermore, even in the Emancipation Proclamation, it is written there were many groups excluded due to their areas.

The papers and speeches are available for people interested in doing research on the topic. They are real, in his handwriting and authenticated by the government.

Another brilliant example of how time (and infamy) has revised history into myths and fairy tales.

Let the outcry begin…

  2. What I have found in my research of history is when you find information such as this the Black Community is so brainwashed they will not want to hear it.Just look at the holidays just passed.Black people believe in Santa Claus,I think America has done its job.Americans are stupid and that's the bottom line.Shoot our schools are not educating our kids they are programming them for American living,fools like their parents.

  3. I was away with family at Thanksgiving and a friend's children both told me that neither one of them know the Star Spangled Banner, past "O say can you see". One is 14 and one 11...and this generation is supposed to lead us in the years to come...disgraceful!

  4. Both "Blacks" and "Whites" and all other colors have been indoctrinated with lies to prepare them for their futures as useful idiots. Wake up America!

  5. 8:31 AM, I can believe this. Just watch some of the ball players at the beginning of each game, try to sing the Star Spangled Banner, they can't, they don't know the words either. Pitiful. And....most of them cannot write their name in cursive, they have to print.

  6. Great post! Thanks.
    Here is a lingering question.. Lincoln's desire to return the slaves to Africa came from what kind of motivation? Was it a desire to 'restore' them to their homeland and undo what had been done to them, or was it a more racist motive of purging America of the black race? (Or perhaps some other motives?)

    Lincoln never made it a secret that he was a racist. In fact, when he was in the Illinois legislation, his voting record against the Black community was staggering and demonstrative of his belief system. He wanted to preserve America as a utopia for all white people all over the world - a safe haven. If you watch the first video, Lerone Bennett, Jr. explains it quite eloquently. He also states that it is a very painful thing that he relays to the Black community, but history cannot be disputed when it's written in speeches and other papers.

    Furthermore, one thing that bothers him (and me) is the fact that Historians - holders of doctorate degrees - believe the myths about Lincoln rather than the facts. Alarming given the fact they are supposed to be scholars whom look at the actual historical evidence, not convoluted fiction through personal beliefs.

    Unfortunately, in the spirit of PC, this will likely never be taught in school - on any level, be it high or college level. One has to investigate Lincoln's documents him/herself in order to ascertain the truth about this figure in history. One absolutely cannot rely on their education to know truths regarding Lincoln's motives and actual involvement in his own mythical stance.
