Hey, you got to put a second ‘s’ at the end of his name. It’s Frederick Douglass. I did a paper on him for an English college course. It was a very good paper and I did get an A but the instructor corrected me by pointing out his last name contained two s’s, not one. It’s funny how your mind doesn’t pick that up.

It is the same as Jesus. And what upsets me the most is this plagiarizing, Marxist, womanizer is celebrated by some - including Priests and Pastors - more than Jesus. People quote him as if he came up with these thoughts himself but all of his ideas and words were stolen from others. Even his “I have a dream” speech was stolen - it was originally stated by another black minister in the 1952 Republican Convention.

They may not be original but they need to be constantly restated.

I agree with you about LBJ’s baleful influence, but it was the great Ronald Regan who signed the MLK holiday into law. He knew that he was yielding to nearly irresistable PC pressure, but at the time it seemed inexerorable. Had we had the internet and talk radio then, it might not nhave happened.

What an egegious deliberate error to name a 'person of color' when so many others were availabile (like George Washington Carver, et al,) and to deliberately snub the Father of Our Contry and lump him with Jimmie, LBJ and the Marxist Rapist for a one day recognition is disgraceful!

USA, we hardly knew ye!

If his life is so admirable why will they not release the FBI files on him until the generation that lived through it is gone.

Because they're waiting until the agents who spied on him are gone. I'm sure there's political pressure, but the FBI also has practical reasons to lock the files.
