Frederick Douglas was born a slave in Maryland in 1818.  He escaped bondage in 1838, after several failed attempts, and traveled to the north, first to New York and then Massachusetts.  Self educated, he became one of the leading abolitionists of his day because of his great skills as an orator on the subject.  After the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, he became a close friend of the President, and remained a staunch Republican for the remainder of his life.  One of his more well know quotes is:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” 

I find it quite strange that today, Douglas would probably be considered an “Oreo” (black on the outside, but white on the inside) by the likes of the Black Lives Matter crowd, and those who support them.  Although he had been enslaved by whites for a quarter of his life, Douglas didn’t harbor any animosity for Caucasians.  His thoughts on race closely mirrored those of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,  in that he judged each individual on their character traits, rather than the color of their skin or their national origin.

A man like Douglas would probably be appalled if he could see what has happened to the descendants of former slaves in this country, who have aligned themselves with the very political party which fought for years to keep them in bondage, and then to prevent them from enjoying their freedom after the Civil War abolished slavery in this nation.  The Democrats, right up to the passing of Civil Rights legislation in the mid 1960s, fought to maintain the practice of racial segregation through the “Jim Crow” laws in the south..  That onerous practice only ended because of the actions of the Republican Party.

Now, the Biden-Harris regime is trying to convince the American public, particularly the African-American community, that the Republicans were responsible for “Jim Crow” America.  They perpetuate this falsehood for one purpose, and one purpose only.  The maintenance of their political power at all costs, and by any methods required.  By ignoring the 50% of the American public who supported President Trump in the November elections, they are creating a situation where eventually that group will rise up and bring back sanity and respect for the rule of law and our Constitution.  The only question is how that will be accomplished, and when. Our endurance has about reached its limit.
