Frederick, Booker and Martin on the Race Hustlers

“The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.” —George Washington (1796)

Obama may be gone, but his Democrat Party and deep-state race hustlers are working overtime.

Taking account of the Democrats’ most successful efforts this year to rally young constituents by fomenting division, one event above all others proved highly successful. It will most assuredly be replicated in some form next summer, ahead of November’s 2018 midterm elections.

I’m referring to the Charlottesville, Virginia, riots, ostensibly over historic monuments. This conflict gave rise to the Left’s so-called “antifa movement” of self-proclaimed anti-fascist fascists, which metastasized to urban centers across the nation propelled by Leftmedia propagandists.

Ahead of the next round of urban race rallies and riots, I surveyed some writings from the most esteemed black civil rights activists in our nation’s history: Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. What follows is a small but informative survey of what they had to say about racial division.

Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and became the 19th century’s most noted and articulate abolitionist movement leader.

While he strenuously objected to slavery and inequality, in 1855 he asserted, “I would unite with anybody to do right; and with nobody to do wrong.”

Commemorating the legacy of Abraham Lincoln on the occasion of our nation’s first centennial, Douglass noted, “That we are here in peace today is a compliment and a credit to American civilization, and a prophecy of still greater national enlightenment and progress in the future. I refer to the past not in malice … but simply to place more distinctly in front the gratifying and glorious change which has come both to our white fellow citizens and ourselves, and to congratulate all upon the contrast between now and then, the new dispensation of freedom with its thousand blessings to both races, and the old dispensation of slavery with its ten thousand evils to both races, white and black.”
