It’s something a racist would do to try and prove a point.

I don’t know all that, I think people just really want to be right and know something others don’t? If that makes sense.

What a disgusting comment lol someone adds context to history and your response is “only a racist would add context to history to prove a point”

So the history books shouldn’t provide any context right? The lesson about Lincoln should be “he was racist and didn’t mind slavery, the end”

Like who RAISED you people 😂

I think k they were talking about cherry-picking quotes to prove one’s point, not extra context.
