She speaks though with the poison that has been taught by the modern day Democrats and the liberal media. It truly is revolting and so different from the freed slaves in the 1800's.
My computer fried just recently and I lost all my bookmarks, but I had the most wonderful speech given by Frederick Douglass in memory of President Abraham Lincoln but I found it again.
Here's just part and I'll put up a link. It truly illustrates how the race baiters in the D party and their supporters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have warped the minds of so many.
When you get a chance take the time to read the whole thing. It brings me to tears.
Here's part:
Oration In Memory Of Abraham Lincoln
Delivered At The Unveiling Of The Freedmen's Monument In Memory Of Abraham Lincoln
In Lincoln Park, Washington, D.C.
Frederick Douglass
April 14, 1876
From part of the speech:
The sentiment that brings us here today is one of the noblest that can stir and thrill the human heart.
It has crowned and made glorious the high places of all civilized nations with the grandest and most enduring works of art, designed to illustrate the characters and perpetuate the memories of great public men.
It is the sentiment which from year to year adorns with fragrant and beautiful flowers the graves of our loyal, brave, and patriotic soldiers who fell in defense of the Union and liberty.
It is the sentiment of gratitude and appreciation, which often, in the presence of many who hear me, has filled yonder heights of Arlington with the eloquence of eulogy and the sublime enthusiasm of poetry and song; a sentiment which can never die while the Republic lives.
For the first time in the history of our people, and in the history of the whole American people, we join in this high worship, and march conspicuously in the line of this time-honored custom.
First things are always interesting, and this is one of our first things. It is the first time that, in this form and manner, we have sought to do honor to an American great man, however deserving and ilustrious.
I commend the fact to notice; let it be told in every part of the Republic; let men of all parties and opinions hear it; let those who despise us, not less than those who respect us, know that now and here, in the spirit of liberty, loyalty, and gratitude, let it be known everywhere, and by everybody who takes an interest in human progress and in the amelioration of the condition of mankind,
That, in the presence and with the approval of the members of the American House of Representatives, reflecting the general sentiment of the country; that in the presence of that august body, the American Senate, representing the highest intelligence and the calmest judgment of the country;
in the presence of the Supreme Court and Chief-Justice of the United States, to whose decisions we all patriotically bow; in the presence and under the steady eye of the honored and trusted Cabinet,
We, the colored people, newly emancipated and rejoicing in our blood-bought freedom, near the close of the first century in the life of this Republic, have now and here unveiled, set apart, and dedicated a figure of which the men of this generation may read, and those of after-coming generations may read, something of the exalted character and great works of Abraham Lincoln, the first martyr President of the United States.
It's really an enthralling speech and it truly shows how in such little time the Dems and the media have poisoned so many minds with hate by twisting history and lying.
Oration In Memory Of Abraham Lincoln
I love his ending. Douglass was a great and honorable man.
Fellow-citizens, I end, as I began, with congratulations. We have done a good work for our race today. In doing honor to the memory of our friend and liberator, we have been doing highest honors to ourselves and those who come after us;
we have been fastening ourselves to a name and fame imperishable and immortal; we have also been defending ourselves from a blighting scandal. When now it shall be said that the colored man is soulless, that he has no appreciation of benefits or benefactors; when the foul reproach of ingratitude is hurled at us, and it is attempted to scourge us beyond the range of human brotherhood,
We may calmly point to the monument we have this day erected to the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
don't confuse them with facts.
