I agree. Lincoln didn’t end slavery because he cared to, it was the better choice because they needed soldiers for the civil war. He still had to have a slight care for Black people to even do that; the action was powerful nonetheless. Ultimately, every president afterwards managed to do something to benefit Black people. The issue still today is that they’re dealing with gradual changes towards equality. I don’t think we’ll ever have full equality in America.

This is a balanced approach to the issue...

Eventually, people get angry when they feel their identity is being threatened in some way, and this itself is an interesting cause for reflection.
