I believe, Lincoln's quote is spot-on.. All people deserve respect, and shouldn't have their resources stripped from them.. but the REALITY is, that Blacks often do little or nothing with those resources & opportunities.. and consistently prove themselves inferior to Whites.. (except in basketball) .. and he wasn't called 'Honest Abe' for nothing, the meaning of his quote is very clear...Blacks deserve to be treated with equal dignity, but that doesn't mean they are equal in capability.
