Quote: There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all White people at the idea of an indiscriminate amalgamation of the White race and the Black race..

Author: Abraham Lincoln"


Attributing racist comments to Lincoln by white racists goes back to the earliest days of the civil rights movement.

Most such attributions are bogus. Those that are not need to be put in the context of Lincoln's times. The attempted implication is that, were Abe here today, he would be of the same mind, which is, of course, ridiculous.

That the above quote was found on a blatantly racist website makes it questionable. Can anyone verify the quote from a reliable source?

And how does it pertain to the theme of the thread?
