SOUTHERN HERITAGE
FREDERICK DOUGLAS
Copied from a speech( when he speaks of the republican party this is the socialist democrats of today)
“But let me say again, the South neither really fears the ignorance of the negro, nor the supremacy of the negro. It is not the ignorant negro, but the intelligent North that it fears; not the supremacy of a different race from itself, but the supremacy of the Republican party. It is not the men who are emancipated but the people who emancipated them that disturb its repose. In other words the trouble is not racial, but political. It is not the race and color of the vote. Disguise this as it may, the real thing that troubles the South is the Republican party, its principles, and its ascendancy in Southern States and the nation. When it talks of negro ignorance, negro supremacy, it means this, and simply this, only this. . . .”
My words
We as southerners must realize again it isn’t the blacks that we fear; it isn’t them leading the cheer to remove our history; furthermore, it is the same type of extremist for the political reason of control. Yes, as human nature, we as men will gravitate to free when it presents itself.
If we keep allowing the removal of not just southern history but American history, we will have given up freedom altogether, not just to the south of the heritage of the white man, but we will have enslaved all Americans, both black and white, not for freedom, but a renewed ball and chain for blacks and whites. These socialist politicians want only power. Nothing has changed from the Douglas speech.
