Frederick Douglass statue vandalized in New York park

Frederick Douglass statue vandalized in New York park

[russmonte]

Its Rochester antifa.they don't know who Douglas is

[jerryneal]

I believe you need to look no further than the young, privileged Rebels Without a Clue. They have had no problem toppling statues of folks that were firmly against slavery. Why would this be different?

[robert]

I dont support this neither do I support any other statue being removed or vandalized

[sirjamesnc]

This is sad you can't wipe out all of history or burn books your goal should be to learn and grow from it.

[latashafreeman]

CNN, MSNBC, ABC & CBS will not show this event at all to the nation.

FREDRICK DOUGLAS - a Republican (and former slave) who once argued the 13th amendment was unnecessary, bringing the words of the Constitution to their ultimate fruition, that EVERYONE is created equal. That the Constitution is NOT a racist document.

[slowpoke]

Too bad. This is what you reap from the hate you sow. Anyone can tear down what they want. It only takes enough people to physically perform the act to make it justified as is happening with other monuments. No vote. No consensus. No law. No sense.

[angryfoxzd]

Leftist: we're not racist we love black people.

Also Leftist: (destroys statue of a black guy)

[ladyyougo]

What is wrong with these protester this is crazy he was a black men who help his people what is going on Damn

[randyfarnsworth]

😂😂😂😂 Of course it’s blamed on anyone other then those tearing down statues everywhere. It’s all history. Snapshots in time to who we were NOT WE ARE NOW. Civil War is coming.

[julianG]

Why would they vandalize Fredrick Douglas I mean he was a black man that was against slavery? Makes no sense.

[badapple]

No matter who did it, it’s such a shame! No one should be erasing any history in this country. We learn from history good and bad. Look how far this country has come. It was not all that long ago that there were white only restaurants, drinking fountains, schools, pools, transportation. Such an awful and embarrassing thing! I seriously do not personally know anyone that can be called racist. That’s how far we have come.

[valeriewilliams]

Good attitude, MUCH Fredrick Douglas words and his legacy lives on! What's so sad is America refuses to GROW

[Steve-ohtu]

It was way too small. Now build it bigger and better.

In this video you can meet the gay Samuel L Jackson.

[anonymousone]

Damn fools. He was an absolutely brilliant man. His essays are stellar and eloquent. If you start a Go Fund Me I will certainly be donating. I live in Pennsylvania and the staute is in NY and I would still donate!

☹️Mr Douglas.
People should not have to live in horrible conditions to afford housing.
What I see in Black neighborhoods would never be tolerated if it were in a White neighborhood.
So, why is it accepted?
Indifference.
Hence, the heart of what I believe is the rage of these protests.
INDIFFERENCE!
(I intentionally used the word Hence to sound snooty. ☺️)

Check out CharlieBo313's YouTube video of "Philadelphia: America's Worst looking ghettos"
Before you jump to judge...know this...the Black Mayor accepts this and allows this.
These people deserve better. No wonder they are so freaking mad!
You should not have to live like
I use to live around there about 5 years ago. It was nowhere near that bad!
This breaks my heart.

[magaman]

Everyone wants the world to be fair now days so you have to take all monuments down.

[fartzerelli]

It this level of insanity continues and escalates, there will not be a 2021.
