From style and unlikeliness (to our eyes) I'd guess Abraham Lincoln. Select to see answer. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Did better job of "hiding" Nosy's answer.

The first sentence should have been enough, honest.
Kindly When I was young I loved everything about cigarettes: the smell, the taste, the feel . everything. Now that I’m older I’ve had a change of heart. Want to see the scar?

You guys are all onto the author of this quote, but the occasion is still unresolved. It was an occasion wherein one might expect the author to be a raving, racist bigot in the great debate. But, in fact, the author was less of a bigot than his opponent.
I posted this mainly as a measure of what we usually regard as racist rhetoric. Times have changed, however. Today, 150 years later, a man of color is likely to become POTUS. (What next, a gay atheist Eskimo?) ”HM

Hello Hoot Mon
I have not read the replies to your post yet (i wanted to guess for myself), but i think that th person who said that was (drum roll........DRUM ROLL!) Andrew Jackson I feel i will likely be wrong (i cant wait to read what the others have posted about it) but considering his stance on black americans (a recent documentary on PBS mentioned his feelings about them), i will have to go with him. Of course the answer might be one we dont expect (George Wasington...Abraham Lincoln...Ronald McDonald?????), but i'm gonna go with Andrew Jackson. "The Nephilim where in the Earth in those days..."

I was quite proud of getting it, as I'm a foreigner, but it was made easy by the obvious psychology that it was likely to be someone who is considered by many today as a "progressive" against racism, and I knew that (hidden)Lincoln was a race separatist of sorts.
What next, a gay atheist Eskimo?) Well, not quite, but a woman from Alaska is the next best thing, just a heartbeat (and an election) away from POTUS. Edited by bluegenes, : someone else just hid a giveaway, so I must!

Ludo, not a bad guess at all. I suppose you know now who it was. But the occasion is still up for grabs.
