[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one where Lincoln is petting a black man's head and the black man looks like a dog at his feet.[/quote] The man doesn’t look like a dog and Lincoln isn’t touching his head. The statue is symbolic of Lincoln saying go free to the slaves, and in 1876 how else would have it been depicted? [/quote] So you think that because only subservient poses were allowed for black men in the 1870s, the image should be kept today? What about demeaning images of Jews from the late 1800s? Also cool?[/quote]
