Guide to the Most (and Least) Politically Diverse Colleges,

Actually, you’re the one engaging in a bit of revisionist history…especially by omitting the fact Lincoln’s views on race and racial equality evolved to the point he came around later in his life.

President Lincoln can speak for himself on this issue.

First Debate with Stephen A. Douglas at Ottawa, Illinois August 21, 1858. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/lincoln3/1:1?rgn=div1;singlegenre=All;sort=occur;subview=detail;type=simple;view=fulltext;q1=political+equality#hl1

Now gentlemen, I don’t want to read at any greater length, but this is the true complexion of all I have ever said in regard to the institution of slavery and the black race. This is the whole of it, and anything that argues me into his idea of perfect social and political equality with the negro, is but a specious and fantastic arrangement of words, by which a man can prove a horse chestnut to be a chestnut horse. I will say here, while upon this subject, that I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so. I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which in my judgment will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior position. I have never said anything to the contrary, but I hold that notwithstanding all this, there is no reason in the world why the negro is not entitled to all the natural rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hold that he is as much entitled to these as the white man. I agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects—certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment. But in the right to eat the bread, without leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man.

There are other quotes along these lines. Your hypothetical opinion of Lincoln’s thoughts on the modern Republican party has no basis.
