    I kept telling people that Frederick Douglas helped Lincoln’s campaign at a time when Lincoln couldn’t promise to end slavery. I got called every name in the book for suggesting that a less than perfect candidate was much better than an absolute fascist.

          They need to be reminded of their place as the scum of America.

          Which, given proper context, should put them high in the running for scum of all existence.

        Slavery never went away, they just became sharecroppers, which is a form of slavery.

        SCOTUS ruled that sharecropping was a form of slavery in the 1960s. BTW, Clarence Thomas and Roberts want to overturn that ruling…
