What melted the ice age some time back?
OK, OK...back on topic, Lincoln did what he was trained to do, argue his case...and win. If a Lawyer can win in court by breaking the rules, or bending them, and NO ONE says anything, he probably did his job. I think being a Lawyer at one time was an honorable proffesion, I fear its WELL past that now!
Racism can be a lot of things, in many forms...a label you would not want bestowed on you in the media, especially if your running for office! Thats why it's easy to side with a race, and get along, than to be perceived to be against another race or group.
