people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do

For some reason, I got a great email today. Just thought I'd share it.

If you read the writings of Dr Henry Gates you will see he calls
Lincoln a racist republican so why does any of this surprise you.

It's pretty funny when a racist like Herring quotes Lincoln.
