Frederick Douglass Opens Twitter Account from Beyond the Grave to Troll President Trump

not sure if this has been posted but it is worth seeing

@realFrederickDouglass: My keynote speech at Emancipation Memorial was highest rated speech with biggest crowd ever! DISHONEST CNN chose not to cover it. TERRIBLE!

@realFrederickDouglass: Only thing I have in common with @realDonaldTrump is that we both had a bankruptcy and failed business! (Freedman's Savings Bank and New Era newspaper). SAD!

@realFrederickDouglass: My name is in your mouth yet you got elected by KKK whose rise I actively fought in 1868. Excuse me while I roll over in my grave. DISASTER!

At this blog a poster wrote: "Here would be a fun game: Every couple of months have a different black guy introduce himself to Trump as Frederick Douglass and see if 1. He notices that they are different people and 2. He realizes that Frederick Douglass is dead."

Spicer's comments did make me look up a brief bio yesterday, and I learned that Douglass was the only African-American attendee at the Seneca Falls conference on women's rights in the late 1840s. So Spouting Spice's comments did some good after all!
