The Supreme Court faces an existential crisis of legitimacy

What does this have to do with what I said?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

It's a fact that 100% of us had mothers. All mothers are female. All mothers are responsible for their children. Therefore, all females are responsible for everyone.

See how that works. Now your turn with "white male racists". ;)
 
It doesn't change the fact Lincoln was racist just like other famous leaders of the time. None of that really changed until a hundred years later under LBJ.

Here we are 57 years later and the Democrats are still institutionalizing racism. WTF?

OTOH, you and I can readily agree that the Republicans, especially the Trumpians, are racist assholes.

Most however just don't care. They're too busy getting their piece of the American pie to give a fuck about what others are getting. It's like seeing a commercial about starving kids in Africa. Sad, but just because they don't care doesn't make them racists.

Describe this racism by Lincoln.

There are multiple examples but Lincoln was a man of his times just like Washington and Jefferson before him.

Just inside the Statehouse hangs another revered depiction of an Illinois legend — and longtime Douglas rival — who expressed white supremacist views: Abraham Lincoln. The immense painting in the governor’s second-floor office depicts a Sept. 18, 1858, debate between the two men that opened with these words from Lincoln, who was vying for Douglas’ Senate seat and was still two years away from running for president:

“I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and Black races. ... There is a physical difference between the white and Black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”

...Guelzo, who co-created a five-step decision-making analysis for the removal of newly scrutinized memorials, believes that if Illinois uproots Douglas, Lincoln should follow, disqualified by the Matson case and his stance during the Charleston debate.

If an offensive racial opinion “is the only yardstick that we use to measure people today, they will have to pull down monuments to everybody from before 1950,” Guelzo said.

I see your point


That means women should have all the power


Otherwise we can not be responsible for everyone


Deal

Agreed in that if a person is going to be made responsible, they need to authority to carry out that responsibility.

I have no problem leaving all the diplomacy to women. ;)

This oft-quoted statement by Lincoln is NOT racism.

Some Indian tribes did just that


Hell it might have been you who taught me that

This oft-quoted statement by Lincoln is NOT racism. It is simply noting that there are differences and was simply a response to a racist.
 
same question for you, you fricken idiot, why is a person who kills a pregnant woman charged with two counts of murder in every state if the unborn child is not a person?

Hmm, that's actually a good question. I'll give credit where credit's due because I don't have a great answer offhand.
