Frederick Douglass
slave, freeman, orator, preacher, diplomat, and a hero of style and ideals to
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Frederick Douglass regarded the Declaration of Independence as a watchword of freedom. But he was tempted to turn it to the wall, he said, because its human rights principles were so shamelessly violated. A former slave himself, Douglass knew what he was talking about. Douglass thought that "enslaving blacks fettered whites as well and that the United States would never be truly free until it ended "chattel slavery".
During the Civil War, he had several conversations with Lincoln, urging him to make freedom his major aim. He also put unremitting pressure on the Union army to accept black volunteers, and after resistance to admitting blacks into the army gave way, he toured the country encouraging blacks to enlist and imploring the government to treat black and white solders equally in matters of pay and promotion. Douglass had great hopes for his fellow blacks after the Civil War. He demanded they be given full rights---political, legal, educational, and economic---as citizens. He also wanted to see the wall of separation between the races crumble and see "the colored people of this country, enjoying the same freedom [as whites], voting at the same ballot-box, using the same cartridge-box, going to the same schools, attending the same churches, traveling in the same street cars, in the same railroad cars, on the same steam-boats, proud of the same country, fighting the same wars, and enjoying the same peace and all its advantages." But he was also ordered by Republican leaders from the NORTH in CONGRESS to keep a low profile. He was omitted from White House guest lists, and was excluded from presidential receptions even though one duty of the District marshal was to introduce the guests at White House state occasions. Douglass was puzzled and then upset by the increasing indifference and prejudice of Republican leaders to conditions among blacks after the Civil War. In 1883 he attended a convention of blacks in Louisville, Kentucky which met to discuss their plight and reaffirm their demand for full civil rights. In his keynote address, Douglass vividly portrayed the discrimination and persecution of his people encountered from the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT but he continued to believe that "prejudice, with all its malign accomplishments, may yet be removed by peaceful means."
However ideal Mr. Douglass' goals, the dream of freedom for the blacks had failed. Douglass, before his short political career ended, had figured out the fraud placed upon his brethren by the UNITED STATES. His black people had passed from private slavery into government slavery. The persecution and prejudice was much harsher to his brethren than was private slavery. His race had been thrown out into the world, without jobs, homes, or means of any kind. They had changed from a kinder private 'Massah' to a cruel and unjust government 'Massah.'
Mr. Douglass, no doubt had deciphered the fraud upon the blacks, placed upon them by the UNITED STATES. When he was of no further USE to the cause of the NORTH, the UNITED STATES hid him from public view. Research and study shows that 'emancipate' did not mean freed! The word emancipate, historically meant 'sold to the state/government.' Becoming a citizen of the UNITED STATES did not make his race members of society, or sovereigns of the states of the union. IN FACT, citizen means a slave of the state/government. Douglass and his brethren had been made citizen/slaves of the District of Columbia, which was renamed, by a small, insignificant law, to "UNITED STATES." The black race was NOT given American citizenship into the Union, nor state citizenship, and to date no law has been uncovered which changes this fact.
Why is it that the NORTH, when it was unconstitutionally, by RAPING of south, adding amendments to the constitution, did not alter the 4/5ths clause of representation? This clause stands as a valid operating clause of the constitution!
In the self-righteousness of the NORTH, and with their HIGHER LAW for abolition of slavery, why did they NOT give the Indian equal or same rights? The Indian was not allowed to vote ON ANYTHING until 1924. Their lands were made states, without them being able to even vote on the matter! The HOLINESS of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is a fraud and a lie. Women could not vote until 1913, but the Indian was considered less than human by the UNITED STATES HOLY GOVERNMENT.
The freedmen of the UNITED STATES, 3 million black voters IN THE SOUTH, awakening to the lies of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, helped to vote in a president of the UNITED STATES, sympathetic to the SOUTH! However, the US CONGRESS ordered the US ARMY to steal the ballots boxes, and by bribes, fraud, and lies, seated Rutherford B. Hayes, THE LOSER!
If Douglass were around today, as did Martin Luther King, he would tell all men, black, white, red, brown, NOT to believe that they are free, simply because the government says they are free! He would warn all that the US GOVERNMENT wears the cloak of human rights and freedom, only when it benefits a purpose of the GOVERNMENT. Governments do NOT want men to be free - but enslaved by the government under the guise of freedom. Governments want CONTROL, and with gaining control, comes oppression and slavery. IT was this kind of slavery/oppression which the One G-d of Israel freed the Hebrews from in Egypt -- NOT private ownership slavery, but government slavery. As Moses, and M.L. King, Texians have looked over the mountain top and seen the PROMISED LAND.
Texians, all colors, all races, have looked over the barriers, (the mountain top) and seen the promised land (Texas free from U.S. bondage).
