Frederick Douglass. They ignore him more than reject him. The new ideology can’t handle his view that the Constitution was fundamentally an anti-slavery document.
They also ignore Anthony Johnson. And him being one of the first slave owners in America. It hurts the narrative that
There are probably others. Basically anyone they can’t fit into their ideological box. That’s how ideologies work, though.

Good God. Do you sit around all day in your grandma’s panties thinking up this shit?
It's actually a valid observation.
A lot of African-Americans are defined by their political alignments, not what they have do or haven't done. Bill Cosby may be one of the few examples, after running afoul of #metoo.
Hispanic-Americans get it even worse. You get categorized as 'white' if you do something wrong, or run on a Republican ticket.
I'm not making that up. It's really what the US media does. The Urban League and local papers like the Miami Herald constantly call that out too.
Running afoul of the #metoo movement'??!?
Well I'll be damned. Up to now I thought that scumbag went to prison because he drugged and raped upwards of 60 women while pretending to be "America's Dad."
Ask your black friends the same question I did in the OP. One of mine brought up Frank Lucas, but the other 3 that I posed it to were kind of surprised that they couldn't come up with one that was on the level of a Dahmer or Manson. Gosnell came up after a while, but it took some thinking.
Lucas was actually given a set of principles in popular media that he didn't display in real life. So ... that's also interesting. Although we have done similarly with white people too, especially if and when they became informants.
So I found this response from one of my black friends kind of interesting:
"We don't have any Dahmer or Bundy level black criminals because police focus on and catch black people for this kind of stuff faster than they do with white people."
I chucked at first but that may actually be true. Of course the extention of that is to ask "how many innocent lives have been saved because police caught black psychopaths so quickly?" And does this explain why there are no black people on the FBI most wanted list?

@ChrisKnight06 - Did you actually read what @Crazyhole posted?This whole thread was an, "I have black friends so I can't be racist" flex
It's actually what BLM is all about. It's about 'Pre-Crime.'
BLM is not a fan of Progressivism any more than the GOP.
This is why I embraced BLM.
Oh please. I just find it interesting that while black people are generically labeled as villains, it's pretty hard to come up with specific examples of it.This whole thread was an, "I have black friends so I can't be racist" flex
I shouldn't be surprised at the reactionary response because the topic is about black people, which is forbidden in public discourse.
There have been black serial killers. Remember that serial killers are almost exclusively men and black men only make up a small percentage of the overall population, so the likelihood of having a non-drug or organized crime-violence serial killer is going to be quite a bit smaller from that demographic.
List of Famous Black Serial Killers
In the United States, the majority of documented serial killers are white men. However, there are at least 20 known Black serial killers in America. On this list of murder cases involving Black or African American serial killers, some of these famous killers used guns; others preferred...

So why have I never heard of any of those guys but can easily name 10 white serial killers or psychopaths? I truly just don't understand the disconnect hereThere have been black serial killers.

No can do, I'm afraid. Like those 'transgender folks 'pushing their agenda', it is an issue that troubles Crazyhole and keeps him awake at night. It's important for him to understand why more publicity hasn't been given to Black serial killers and why unfair attention has been directed at White Supremacists. These are not things to laugh at.
