In regard to the colored people, there is always more that is benevolent, I perceive, than just, manifested towards us. What I ask for the negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us… I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! … And if the negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot box, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone, — your interference is doing him positive injury.
January 26, 1865-Frederick Douglass
Hattip to Art Deco. A White Accountability Group set up by Loyola University of Maryland. Go here to read about it. The Jesuits are beyond parody. God save our black brothers and sisters from the congealed folly of woke whites who are doing their worst to set race relations back in this country by a century.
Not set it back a century, but distort and disfigure it. The gross irony is that on a mundane basis, people on either side of the color bar navigate satisfactorily. Nearly 100% of the conflict is generated by a small minority employed in a half-dozen specific guilds and it’s all manifest in public discourse, not in everyday life.
These smug suburbanites are creating a monster that will plunge the nation into an ocean of blood.
