What would Lincoln find could revisit the U.S? Why would this bother him?

Question

Below is a quote that I think would be of a great reference. Most elaborate answer gets 10 points!


"He [Abraham Lincoln] would learn that the Supreme Court....has laid down the principle that if an individual State chooses it may 'make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market place at the same time...' In many States Lincoln would find justice enforced, if at all, by judhes elected by one element in a community to pass upon the liberties and lives of another."
-from The founding of the NAACP

What would Lincoln find if he could revisit the U.S****************************

sorry

Answer 1

Your quote is about 40 years out of date. It was certainly embarrassing that, more than 100 years after the south surrendered there were still places where blacks were required to sit seperately from whites and violence was spent on blacks while white leaders looked the other way.

TODAY:

Lincoln would see black people with more rights and protections than whites, he would see activist ***** leaders demanding more than their share of power and funding, he would see ****** using emotional blackmail to intimidate white people, and he would see complete morons like Louis Farakan raving that the US Army blew up the dikes in New Orleans and that "America must be burned!"

Then, he would see the Republican party in office (the party he himself founded) with two ***** cabinet members and defending the entire world against terrorism and international crime. I think he'd reregister as a Republican voter.

Answer 2

Well, let's see. You first ask: "What would Lincoln find could revisit the US?" Well, I guess he would find that anything could revisit the US if it had the proper transportation to do so.

You then indicate that the quote is something you feel is, "of a great reference." A great reference to what?

Then you ask, What would bother him? This I can easily answer - it would bother him that you cannot put a sentence together that makes sense. And it would bother him that you used an offensive name such as "sick my duck".

Your lack of ability to put an English sentence together coherently, as well as your lack of respect for yourself, demonstrated by using the sick my duck name, would also be offensive to Martin Luther King, a wonderful and inspiring man, who assumed equality based on African Americans living up to US standards, rather than down to ghetto standards.

Answer 3

In the 143 years since his death the US and the world have changed so dramatically that he would be astounded and amazed at the things we take for granted. The automobile, the telephone, the light bulb; each of these things and the numerous other scientific achievements we have made would be beyond his imagination.

We have been to the moon, we have had two world wars, the US has added ten or twelve states to the Union. These things could equally excite his imagination and sadden his soul.

You assume he would be bothered things in the US today. I think he would rejoice in the good that mankind has achieved.
