Then it goes back to my original contention that anyone that operates a business should be able to refuse to serve anyone for any reason. And to be fair, it can go both ways. A Black could put up a sign, that says no Whites allowed. The difference is, I'd just say whatever and go spend my money someplace else.

So, are you saying that you can't call a person promoting communist ideas a communist? That like saying you can't call Islamic terrorists Islamic terrorists. Oh and did you know that in the Peoples Islamic State of Canada, its illegal to say Islamic terrorist, because the term casts Islam in a negative light, and that has been forbidden in law. *its not denigration if its true*

Actually I have no problem with The Lincoln Memorial. Lincoln did what he set out to do, which was to preserve the Union, and a grateful nation chose to honor him. Did You know that before the Emancipation Proclamation was announced, Lincoln made one last offer to the South to get them to return to the Union. He proposed a Constitutional Amendment permitting slavery to exist until 1900, with a gradual release of the slaves and compensation to the owners for loss of property. Douglass had good reason to mistrust Lincoln. On December 1, 1862, one month before the scheduled issuing of an Emancipation Proclamation, the president offered the Confederacy another chance to return to the union and preserve slavery for the foreseeable future. In his annual message to congress, Lincoln recommended a constitutional amendment, which if it had passed, would have been the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The amendment proposed gradual emancipation that would not be completed for another thirty-seven years, taking slavery in the United States into the twentieth century; compensation, not for the enslaved, but for the slaveholder; and the expulsion, supposedly voluntary but essentially a new Trail of Tears, of formerly enslaved Africans to the Caribbean, Central America, and Africa. http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/153860

ROMAN LONDON The Romans founded London about 50 AD. Its name is derived from the Celtic word Londinios, which means the place of the bold one. After they invaded Britain in 43 AD the Romans built a bridge across the Thames. They later decided it was an excellent place to build a port. The water was deep enough for ocean going ships but it was far enough inland to be safe from Germanic raiders. Around 50 AD Roman merchants built a town by the bridge. So London was born. http://www.localhistories.org/london.html

Did that topic just get deleted?

Never mind I found it. I guess they figure it's safer in the land forum because who ever checks out the land forum anyway? *shrugs* -
You all know which one.

if more people were aware of some of the things Lincoln said about blacks they would be clamoring to remove the lincoln memorial. one must consider though he was just in tune with his time. i doubt very few abolitionists while fighting to end slavery would want to live beside blacks or have their daughters marry one. Lincolns long term goal was to return all the blacks to africa or any other country that would accept them
