  1. You think Germans in 1940 were going around saying, "we don't wave Swastika flags and praise Deutschland because we approve of queers, Jews and disabled people being slaughtered, we just believe that German values are more important than concentration camps"?

  2. "The character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this 4th of July! Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future." (#Douglass, What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?)

  4. #Douglass's brilliance & sadly his resonance. "There are exceptions, & I thank God that there are." However, "the church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually
    takes sides w/the oppressors. It has made itself the bulwark of American slavery, &
    the shield of American slave-hunters. . . . this horrible
    blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity." (What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?)
