It’s clearly not your great great great great grandfather’s Republican Party and hasn’t been for some time.

Because the entire year now celebrates male white supremacy and it consumes all 12 months.

From the article: “The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrate individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

So, even if Douglass is worth honoring, if any part of the celebration comes from him being black...

It's the new "one drop of blood".

Next celebration of Washington or Lincoln, people need to make the argument that their status and achievements were based all or in part on the fact that they were white. A Black man couldn’t have been president at the time.

Or, hell, they were *men*. Women couldn’t have been prez.

Immutable.
