They are now issuing a clarion call to the racists.

No more dog whistles.

About something.

...is there some unwritten code that these supremacists and neo-supremacists won't utter any of the accomplishments of these important figures to diminish their roles in our nation's history?

It's a valid argument to suppose these conservatives are feigning stupidity. At any rate, that's not some roadblock that prevents me from taking their bullshit very seriously.

In an espisode of "Hate My Neighbor" on Viceland, the comedian/interviewer/reporter wades into the muck to check out some neo-Nazi groups. (BTW, don't call them Nazis. They prefer the term National Socialists.) Given that they're Holocaust deniers*, it might be fair to assume that they also refuse to acknowledge the accomplishments of anyone that isn't white.

Here's a link to the episode for those that are interested.

*Note: in the episode, when asked if there should be another genocide, the wife of the Nazi National Socialist guy states that yes, there should be "another genocide." She then quickly corrects herself and states there should be "a" genocide followed by a VERY awkward silence. So yeah, there are people like that and for them, Trump probably isn't going far enough.

We all know that. Duh.

Next he banned Muslims, now he fucks with Blacks. Brace yourselves, Irish and Mexicans. You have holidays coming up soon for him to shit on. Trump loves shitting on everybody.

They have one thing in common with Trump...they're the same color!!!

I'm kidding. I know what you mean. I'm wondering what he is going to do next month to insult the Irish on Saint Patricks Day. So far, he has insulted every other group of people. For many years, the president proclaims March Irish-American Heritage Month. It is also women's history month. That gives him two chances to personally insult me.

Intersection! He can trot out Omarosa again as he did today. (I hate that like Beyoncé, Cher, and Gaga, that woman is now a one-namer.)

You cracks the hell out of me!

"I was thinking of that guy who plays for Cleveland..."

Harriet Tubman: She was the first black train engineer. Worked for Northern Pacific.

Rosa Parks: First black bus driver. She liked to sit all day, so being a driver was the perfect occupation.

Malcolm X: Cartoon name for Malcolm Little. The "X" was to "Mark the spot" where cartoon anvils were dropped on him by racist cartoon characters. Saturday after Saturday, mean characters would try to hit Malcolm with anvils, but they always missed.

Any more than YOU are a nice person.

At least they use all the right words connected to the right people!

THIS quote reminds me of Trump;

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." - Frederick Douglass

That quote should be tweeted to Trump...quick someone make up an account for Douglass. trumpie can start up a tweet storm with Fred.

I would love to F*ck with his pea brain.

You think one of his trainers would notice and finally stop him? One can hope not!

That is if Fred can get under this thin skin with some snark...we all know how easy that is.

thin-skinned POTUS we've ever had. That is drives him crazy to know that so many of us think he is a flake and a loser that cheated to win!

NOT MY PRESIDENT!

I hope Bannon reads this and chokes on every single fucking word!

Thanks sheshe2 I needed that!

FD who is honored to be noted by drumpf. See how far it goes.

tRump is still living in the 1880s, yunno, The Gilded Age, and Sphincter doesn't know what time it is unless Cheeto Benitp tells him.

"Proud of their ignorance."

And the people who voted for him think all this is just wonderful.

"I think he wants to highlight the contributions that he has made," Spicer responded. "And I think through a lot of the actions and statements that he's going to make, I think the contributions of Frederick Douglass will become more and more."

to try to fill up the space with BS. The F student probably would leave it blank. But the one that is barely hanging on by his fingernails will give it a wag. I get the feeling we'll have plenty more Baffle 'Em with Bullsh*t Moments like this in the coming days. Pathetic....

it's a damn good imitation.

At the 2007 miss USA competition, the 18-year-old contestant from South Carolina was asked why she thinks a fifth of Americans cannot locate their country on a map, to which she responded:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as, uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.”

Thanks.

the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Not that they read.

Good God. That's embarrassingly stupid.

Where were these people educated? My children have all read "My Bondage My Freedom" by 7th grade.

tacking his speeches on doors or something like that?

Someone new to church was talking about classes she was going to take to become a member. At the mention of Martin Luther this person said "wasn't he black?"

They killed Freddie!

what embarrassments they are

If you told them, and they actually listened for a few minutes, know what their response would be?

Well, at least we mentioned his name. Get over it.

"Frederick Douglass shows that 'all lives matter'"

Even for them.

of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both."

Frederick Douglass
Canandaigua, New York
3 August 1857

I definitely cannot do 4 years of this...

They are equally stupid and identically incompetent. There is no amount of stupid that can make Sparklemoose look smart. And we couldn't possibly know if she's competent at her job because she'll quit before she can show it either way.

n/t.

Can't explain anything to them.

Let them flounder around in a sea of stupid.

Well as anything regarding overturning Obama's EOs, or repealing the ACA. After that, there is more trump can delegate to him.
