The fact that he is even pretending to "celebrate" Black History Month a disgrace.

So psychologically deviant he can't even recognize his own ignorance and stupidity.

I would bet dollars to donuts he couldn't pass the citizenship test he is now in charge of!

I'm surprised he didn't turn to someone and ask "Maybe we can set up a meeting with Mr. Douglass, I would love to talk with him."

It seems to me that he was reading from a script. It looked like he was looking down in order to read from something.

He looked up from the script and got discombobulated for a second and called him "Frederick Doug" and then seemed to treat it like a chance to personalize things and go a little off script. He obviously has no f'ing idea who Frederick Douglass is.

it usually means a new person getting attention for what they are doing not a person who has been dead and had already secured the attention for what they have done. What an asshole.
