= More Great American Myth Busting...
Bro Lerone Bennett’s dismantling of the Lincoln Myth
as the so-called ‘Great Emancipator’ is so complete, that it goes beyond what
even I expected. I highly recommend everyone watch Bro Bennett take apart the
Lincoln Myth piece by piece. Couple that w Bro Jared Ball’s info that Lincoln’s father-in-law was the state of KY’s
biggest slave-dealer. Of course Steven Spielberg's Bio-epic on Lincoln
[which is getting Oscar Buzz] perpetuates the 'Great Emancipator' Myth [How, in
the age of Obama, does Spielberg make a epic about ending slavery excluding
meaningful Black involvement- not even that of Fredrick Douglass &/or
Harriett Tubman???]. One of the many strong points that Bro Bennett makes, is
that of more than 16000+ books written on 'Ole Honest Abe'- just 6 have been written by Blacks [all the
rest were written by whites], even though allegedly we were the main
beneficiaries of 'Ole Abe's' 'magnanimity'!
Thus what we've have is a white view [propaganda spin] which has
perpetuated the 'Great Emancipator' Myth. The real-deal is Lincoln
freed the slaves NOT because that was his actual objective [it NEVER
was] but because events forced him to reluctantly do it- in spite of himself
[for a real critique of Spielberg's 'Lincloln' as the 'Great
Emancipator' Myth Propaganda piece
see: www.counterpunch.org/2012/11/30/paternalism-and-ass-covering-in-spielbergs-lincoln/ ].
Nerver-the-Less- I expect that those white
'hate-her-aiders' that spewed such venom at Sis Kimberley & BAR for truth
telling [= myth busting]- would likely howl & scowl over Bro Bennett's
dismantling of the 'Lincoln the Great Emancipator' Myth- be they
'sophisticated' Northern 'Liberals' or 'Good Ole Boys' from 'Ole Dixie-Land'.
