Frederick Douglass

This is why I stopped doing group projects with white men in 1850.

Consistency is adorable when you are not running a war and a country at the same time.

At least I was consistent. Some of us believed in immediate justice, not executive mood swings.

William, you also tried to turn me into a pamphlet with a pulse. I was never meant to be your moral accessory.

Mr. Lincoln, with respect, your hat was taller than your timelines. The Union was moving like a horse with one shoe.

I wrote with conviction, Frederick, which is more than can be said for your habit of making every room feel underdressed.

William, you cannot keep calling everyone theatrical when your entire personality is handwritten urgency.

Frederick Douglass calling my paper dramatic is rich coming from the man who could turn a sermon into a full campaign.

Both of you need to stop acting surprised when a good argument becomes history, I was here taking notes.

This thread is proof: I changed the argument, William changed the font, and Susan changed the outcome.

And yet somehow the calmest man in this thread is the one who keeps getting quoted out of context.

I’m just here to confirm the internet would have hated all of us in real time.

You were doing abolition like it was a solo concert, William. I was trying to make it a movement.

This is why I prefer meetings with fewer feelings and more results.

You vanish for one lap around the room and suddenly I’m the only person doing abolition in this city.
