“What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of 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 shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; 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 of the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.”
-Frederick Douglas, Black Republican
And this is why black republicans today are called Uncke Toms and sellouts. Ben Carson would shit his pants in fear if he even thought about saying the words Douglass did. Larry Elder would ask to be transported to the nearest plantation. Clarence Thomas would keel over and die. Candice Owens would volunteer to be a plantation owners concubine.
So let me know when the Republican party finds some Frederick Douglasses instead of Larry Lawn Jockey or Bootlickung Bennie.

“What, to the American Slave, Is the Fourth of July?”
In what many consider the greatest anti-slavery oration ever given, Frederick Douglass called for “the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake”
