Obama, Douglass and Lincoln

And so the NY Times wants to compare Barack Obama with the "elder" Fredrick Douglass whom the article's author Michael Cohen, supposedly felt that Lincoln was "not being a more aggressive abolitionist,"

Well those of us not into the whitewash, we know that Lincoln was by no means an abolitionist in the sense that Douglass was. But we covered this before

"Negro equality will be abundant, as every white laborer will have occasion to regret when he is elbowed from his plow or his anvil by slave niggers."

"All the unoccupied territory...shall be reserved for the benefit of the white Caucasian race --- A thing which cannot be except by the exclusion of slavery."

So either Frederick Douglass was a damn fool or he used Lincoln's clearly "racist" sentiments in regards to slavery in order to maneuver to get emancipation as a stepping stone to increase the oft quoted "demands."
