This is the speech given by Frederick Douglas at the Freedman's Monument that BLM and Antifa want to tear down. I wish Mr. Douglas would come back and spit in their faces.

I wish Mr. Douglas would come back and spit in their faces.

I rather think that Mr. Douglass would be more likely to kick their asses rather than spit in their faces.

They’d consider him a race traitor and sellout today for not getting behind WHATEVER the Democrat Party is selling any day past present or future.

The demonstrators have announced that they will return at 7:00 Thursday to tear down the Lincoln statue. A rumor floated around last night that they will get there even earlier — 4:00 was mentioned — to try to hit before counter-demonstrators show up. I will be there early. Join me if you can.

What an amazing speech! I read the whole thing. Frederick Douglas was a wise man. Someone should do a video reenactment of this for the whole country to see and understand. Not that all are willing to understand and some would find points to criticize, but Douglas is being realistic about the society at that time and is thankful for the greatness of Abraham Lincoln.

I just tried calling Norton’s office in D.C. Of course they’re still not working or taking calls, but the stupid bitch can stand out in the middle of a street in Washington, and be interviewed by Andrea Mitchell. I called my current Democrat Congressman, and his office too is closed, but I left a raging phone call, and gave him a piece of my mind, and said if anyone in Washington really cares about the history of this country, then they might want to read the speech that Frederick Douglass gave on the day the Freedman’s Monument was dedicated, and I gave them the website. Not that any of them care, but it pissed me off enough to call him. His opponent in November will be Republican Claudia Tenney, who previously lost the seat to him by 1%. I hope we can send his ass packing back to Utica, NY.

I wrote to a friend who is an historian, and the curator of the Marine Museum at Parris Island. I told him about Norton's plans of submitting legislation to get it removed. He wrote back to tell me that word was it was supposed to have been torn down last night, but it turned out to be open season on Norwegian abolitionists in Wisconsin. He also said he heard a talk on Douglass by African-American historian/professor David W. Blight, who is a big anti-Trumper, and that he will probably now support its removal. Blight is from Flint, Michigan. Brain damaged by the lead in the water no doubt. Here's his wiki page:

I've never joined any of the other social media sites since they've been around, but I signed up for Parler yesterday, and submitted a post regarding Norton's plans to have the statue removed, and included the link to Douglass's speech. Thanks for the link.
