Does invoking Abraham Lincoln deceive ANY African Americans into trusting Republinazis 150 years later?

Sadly, yes.
Republicans have a two-fold attack by which they manage to create the illusion that Democrats are racists. First, they say things which are subtly racist, rather than overtly so. Then, as Democrats call them on it, Republicans simultaneously call us overly sensitive, while mentioning that Lincoln freed the slaves and members of the Democratic party founded the Ku Klux Klan.
Those last two stratagems are necessary, as that is the last time anyone could prove racism by Democrats.

Lincoln himself exposes how in the dark you are.
...I do not mean to say that this government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world; but I do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
--September 17, 1859 Speech at Cincinnati, Ohio

Seems to me like saying Lincoln was a Republican doesn't make ME forget the swastika armbands OR the many racist remarks in the past two years.
