Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King, a leading voice on the left, declared on Twitter Wednesday: The 4th of July was [sic] always been a sham. Always.
King, who received BETs humanitarian hero award last weekend, was commenting on a quote from abolitionist and, later, Republican Frederick Douglass.
In 1852, Douglass delivered a speech about the Fourth of July. King referenced a single passage in which Douglass said:
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.
But King left out the rest of the speech, which is available, in full, online.

We can always take a collection to send Talcum X to a Black Worker’s Paradise, like Angola.
Shaun King is a worthless POS.
“...FedEx this asshole to Africa....”
Exactly. Zimbabwe would be a fine choice for a landing spot for this POS.
Actually, ALL these SOBs should be confronted and forced to make a decision: Shut up and live in peace here, OR pack your shite up and GTFO. Go to Zimbabwe and leave the rest of us alone.
There is a whole continent of countries that he can move to.
Ask Her Majesty’s peon, Tommy Robinson, about Liberty, Freedom and Independence.
4th of July = sham
Kwaznaa = real
Oh, o.k., I see!
A glorious display of outright selective, stupendous ignorance.

He doesnt like to be reminded of that. He blocked me on Twitter for doing so
Good one.
So it shall be evermore.
lol...me too.
Message to angry blacks: If you think the USA is no good, try living in Africa.
He got me booted from Twitter for 24 hours.
Ran into him on Felicia Day’s Twitter feed,
and asked him, “Say aren’t you the fake Negro guy?”
Classic context-omission.
What was Douglas protesting? Of course, the chattel slavery institution.
Now, American blacks are not shackled to labor masters, but they are widely shackled to idleness masters.
Sez Talcum X.
No one is making his half black (or 1/4 - 1/8) ass stay here.
WHITE On, “Brutha”
Keep speakin’ the Extremist Gospel

Tell this to the free blacks who have chosen to #walkaway from this filth and the rest of the democrat plantation of misery. They don’t buy it at all.
At the time, slavery was legal throughout the what would become the British Empire. Britain didn't turn against slavery until 1807. William Wilberforce was a prime mover in the British anti-slavery movement.
“Talcum x”
Dammit! Gin and tonic through the nose hurts!
