    False Times Frederick Douglass once said “ America is false to the past‚ false to the present‚ and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.” In my opinion I feel that Douglass is saying that America only chooses to accept the glorious past‚ ignores the mistakes made both in the past and present‚ and thus chooses to work toward the future with the same blinders it has used to understand the past. In the past we have had the long-lasting injustices of slavery‚ Jim Crow‚ and if we are

For example‚ do crimes by black groups face criticism than those by white groups or is the reaction equal without regard to racial factors. I already
