Instruct: Classify the given comments as either toxic or not toxic
Query: Sorry, I didn't make clear I was responding to the snark about toppling statues of Lincoln.

But...Lincoln's ostensibly racist comments didn't necessarily reflect his views. I'd be curious to hear what you think of this article by James McPherson, "What Did He Really Think About Race?":

At any rate, it's simply false to insist that Lincoln was "as racist as anyone."
