It's always fun to tell liberals that Lincoln was literally by definition a white supremacist.

He did not think black people were equal to white people he just had the relatively progressive belief for the time that they didn't deserve to be slaves because of that.

~85-95% on the white American population were white supremacists, as were all other presidents before and after Lincoln

Not disagreeing with you just saying it's funny to pop liberals bubble.

Also the existence of people like John Brown do a lot to counter the argument it was just the belief at the time. Some people knew it was all horseshit now which is comforting when you feel like the only person who realizes its all horseshit now.

John Brown and the abolitionists were an extreme minority

I would love a 60's style cartoon of "John Brown and the Abolitionists."

Just picturing a plantation owner on his knees like it's the end of a Scooby-Doo episode saying "and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!" Right before Jason Brown cuts his fucking head off with his dad's broadsword.
