A quotation from Frederick Douglass
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8…

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/apr/28/man-who-heckled-shabana-mahmood-dismisses-white-liberal-claim-immigration. A man who came to the #UK as a child from #Malaysia makes a strange sort of "white liberal", doesn't he, @ChrisMayLA6? He is absolutely right to describe Shabana Mahmood's #asylum & #immigration #policies as #cruel - indeed, they are the very essence of #cruelty, & absolutely shameful.
