What I got out of that is that the north is just as much at fault for slavery as the south

Douglass wouldn't have recognized the current state of black American "culture". Sad.

He certainly expressed himself well. Few blacks today could come close. Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and C Rice could. Few could even comprehend what he said.

You sure? I'm pretty sure I went to school with him unless he isn't who I think he is

Mr. Douglass wouldn't have celebrated the 4th with you. Probably would have celebrated Juneteenth though

Since the majority of African Americans work and are law abiding, that would be the culture, if there is one at all.

Blacks,like strong safety, will never be more than second class citizens until they drop the oppressed victim bs and do what every other race/group has done in the past. What did those groups do? Well, here in the US they assimilated, learned the language and worked their arses off.

SS may very well be a white troll...or just a complete idiot though.

Pretty powerful stuff, especially for his time. Most of it really isn't relative in 2015 America but it's good to show past societal dynamics. I hope you're not using this as some sort of rallying cry for today's race relations.

Great and eloquent speech. Yes blacks owned slaves, yes the confederate flag was a battle flag, but I wish some of the civil rights leaders of this generation could put their cause into words as perfectly, instead of exploiting the people they 'say' they are helping.

I'll pay for your boat ride back home if you're that miserable?? Just say when, and feel free to take a few buddies with you. I'll cover their way too. Race baiting is old, and if you think you got it so "bad" now days you should go back 50-100 years. It's time to move on.
