AMERICAN BARBARITY IS WITHOUT RIVAL

“There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour. . . [Furthermore,] for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without rival.” Thus spoke Frederick Douglass in the course of his discourse at the Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York on 5 July 1852.

A cold-blooded, inhuman white man in blue, aided and abetted by three of his gang, snuffed out the life of George Floyd in full view of the public. And this is the pattern and practice of police departments all over these United States. Nothing has really changed here in America since Frederick Douglass spoke those words 168 years ago.
