Good interntions but ... as I see it ...

This is Ben Franklin's baby.

I'm starting to become aware that ... they're trying to make Ironside a crippled black man ... and now they're trying to co-opt a dead white guy with a dead black man ...

and I resent it.

The Free Public Library, Northeast Branch is probably the library closest to Capitol Hill.

The Library of Congress is across the street from the Capitol.

He did not for an instant think that literacy would mark him for “acting white.”

That is so much a feature of black poverty culture these days. Blacks do themselves as much harm with their belief that being educated means they are acting "too white" as the slave owners did to blacks back in Douglass' day by denying slaves an education. Modern Blacks would do well to read Douglass' autobiography. Douglass didn't sit back and claim victimhood as an excuse to not achieve anything. On the contrary, he rose above his slave status and became something despite hurdles that modern poor Black people can't even imagine.

We read Frederick Douglass' autobiography in one of my community college English classes. Unlike most literature I've had to read for English classes, I remember that one.
