“What to the Slave is the Fourth July?” by Frederick Douglass is not only a brilliant work of oratory. It speaks to our every frustration spurred by the gap between the ideals of the United States and the reality we witness every day; between the Bill of Rights and our decaying civil liberties; between the USA’s international declarations of human rights and the ordered drone attacks backed by presidential “kill lists”; between the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and a nation that leads the world in jailing its own citizens; between our highest ideals and our darkest realities. Here’s hoping people take the time to read the entirety of Douglass’s brilliant speech; even though his were words that spoke directly to his moment in history, they still ring with an unsettling power. As Douglass says: “Had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”

“People who play rap music are a threat to me and my community.” He knows white kids listen to rap also, right? At first I thought this was setting up a Stand Your Ground defense, but no, this is straight up “he was black, and they scare me.” Not that some lawyer won’t try to turn it into SYG. Damn.

I’m sorry sir, but I have to check you back pocket. I was told that you stole a T-shirt from from the gift store.

Yeah, like he could fit a tshirt discreetly into his back pocket.

Could this harassment get any more obvious?

God damn racist bullshit. Has Angry Orchard commented on this incident yet? Not generally a fan of doxxing, but these assholes only get away with this shit by being protected by anonymity. I mean, you know all those white folks look alike, right? (/s)
