Speaking of GOP and racism, here’s an article by Coates that refutes Ron Paul’s idea that Lincoln could have avoided the civil war by buying slaves:

No, Lincoln Could Not Have “Bought The Slaves”

The very idea of compensating slaveowners for no longer being allowed to do one of the most vile things humans do is perverse. Paying people to stop doing something morally reprehensible?
