And worse, he maintained, despite not just exonerating evidence but the actual criminal being found, complete certainty that the Central Park Five were guilty, something he reiterated during the 2016 election.

I've read the Lincoln quote before, and it shocked me initially but the years have taken the edge of it for me. Yes, he was a racist, but he knew what the right thing to do was, and he did it, despite being a racist.

On the other hand, if he hadn't been a racist, maybe there would have been a deconfederization equivalent to the denazification after WW2, and America wouldn't be in the dire straits it is in right now. I've fantasized on your page what that would have been like before, so I won't do it again, aside from a one-word description of what deconfederization would have been like - glorious!
