San Francisco may rename Abraham Lincoln High School

San Francisco may remove Abraham Lincoln’s name from a high school, because a district committee says the 16th president — who abolished slavery — did not demonstrate that “black lives mattered to him.”

They're not completely wrong, Lincoln supported colonization of Liberia for a long time.

Lincoln never went to war because of slavery. Abolishing it was a punishment for the Jewish plantation owners who thought they could just leave the union.

No, the Emancipation Proclamation was just to keep the British and French from entering the war to help the Confederacy. Had nothing to do with Jews.

It was a fairly popular idea. Free the slaves and send them back to Africa.

Something like Hernán Cortes. José Salomé Pina.

Being San Fransisco, they'll probably call it "Francisco Villa" or something

George Washington valued black lives, usually between $300 and $500 a head.
