Yup. The same man Eugene Robinson accused of being racist.

Fake news media is simply ignoring news that shows Trump in a good light.

[pinkandgreenmom]

Oh that Trump. What a racist.

[Lent]

He was a black Republican. Must have been an uncle Tom!Just like Martin Luther King Jr. Oh wait.

The leftists will call Douglass a racist, sexist, homophobe.

REPUBLICANS, The Party for ALL Americans

Interestingly, Democrats have long ago erased these historic figures from our textbooks, only to offer deceitful propaganda and economic enticements in an effort to convince people, especially black Americans, that it’s the Democrats rather than Republicans who are the true saviors of civil liberties. Luckily, we can still venture back into America’s real historical record to find that facts are stubborn things. Let’s take a closer look.

the first seven black Americans elected to the U.S. Congress during the Reconstruction period of 1865 to 1877-- and they’re all Republican!

ALL REPUBLICANS

Not a fan.

"The whole moral power of the party has been, from first to last, on the side of justice to the negro; and it has only been baffled, in its efforts to protect the negro in his vote, by the Democratic Party."

That and $2.00 will get you a ride on the subway.

Negroes today are all in comunist.

How about doing something productive Mr. President, like firing Sessions.

If he was alive today, he’d be called an Uncle Tom, and not black enough by the Congressional Black Caucus. After his wife died, he married a white woman, and the marriage was not accepted by his children, but despite that, his two sons from his first marriage served in black units during the Civil War. It was his second wife who worked tirelessly to make his home, Cedar Hill in Washington, a museum to his memory.

To Honor 200th Anniversary of Frederick Douglass' Birth

Today's revised grammar would give this title even more "esses":

e/g., Douglass'es...or Texas's

[cld51860]

That’s impossible. Everyone knows he’s a racist! /s

The bill was passed in the House on October 11 and the Senate on October 18. I thought the President had ten days to sign the bill or else it was considered vetoed. Yesterday would have been the thirteenth day since Sundays aren’t counted.

A great man!

The following is an excerpt from the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" (1876) (celebrating America's 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) by a Black Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett on "The Greatness of America" - Note that this Sermon is delivered only a few years after the end of the Civil War by this outstanding scholar/legislator/Bishop and contemporary of Douglas.

"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" - Library of Congress - African-American Section

If current generations of youth in America go to the LOC web site and read this lengthy Address by a remarkable Black scholar of history, Ohio State Legislator, and A.M.E. Bishop, who had lived through the years surrounding the Civil War, then their perspective might be enhanced, enlarged and encouraged by their pride in such an intellectual giant from America's history.

Frederick Douglass was a wise man.
