Had Lincoln said that racial equality was impossible, then should he have never freed the slaves? :dunno:
What did you mean when you talked about a neutral government?
You are mixing these issues, racial equality is not the same issue as neutral government. I said there is no such thing as a neutral government. No human being is or can be neutral. They must act according to their values and world-view. They can be cowardly about expressing their values, but they always act according to their values.
Racial equality is not an ideal, it is the natural (God given) order of things. Witness our Declaration of Independence.
Sin causes people to think they were better than other people. Sin, short-sighted self-interest, and avarice caused people to perpetuate and institutionalize racisim and slavery in the first thirteen United States of America.
