I’m not suggesting slavery wasn’t the primary factor in the South’s move to secede, but I’m emphasizing the fact that Lincoln’s reaction was NOT based on slavery, but rather simply to maintain — by means necessary (always a false and toxic approach) — the union, including suspending habeas corpus, and locking up anyone from N.Y. to S.F. for even criticizing his war effort. As for my pointing out the clear fact of ALL America’s large cities currently featuring “no-go” zones, which are of course the black communities, Need I remind you that in Chicago this weekend, eight people were shot dead in thirteen hours. All black, of course. And it would be tedious to roll out all of the violent black crime from even the last week. In Berkeley last week, however, a very talented singer was robbed and run over with the perps’ (stolen) car, crushed to death. But, is there a protest march readied for him, a white fellow killed by blacks? Any outrage from the morally courageous, masked “antifas” and their urine-filled balloons?
