Not really. Went to my moms house and spent time with them. But actually celebrating July 4th? No.

the idea of black people abstaining from July 4th has picked up a lot more traction recently and I'm all the way here for it.

It makes sense, I suppose. Why would someone celebrate the freedom of a bunch of slave owning forefathers?

I'm just wondering why I'm just opening my eyes to this now when I'm sure this has been a thing for....300 years now.

Sorry this day doesn't feel better for you guys. It's supposed to be fun for everyone, but I can see how some people would choose to take a knee on this one.

Same here. Then again, I rarely pay attention to social media things at times. Must be a younger generation thing, because me and my fam got fat off some grilled hot dogs, burgers, beef ribs, corn on the cob, and potato salad yesterday. We all had that itis by the time 10:00 pm came around, lol.

Of course it's a younger generation thing. It seems like people 25 and under aren't happy unless they have something new to be outraged about every couple weeks.

Black Freeman from the North faught for America's independence too. See, any slave could sign up (if his master would permit them) to fight. In one case (and this is sad, so don't beat me up for saying this) but one brave African-American convinced his owner to let him join the resistance. The resistance thought this American was best used as a pretend slave for the English. This African-American then worked as a double agent until he loured the English under false pretense to their doom, allowing an entire betallion to swarm the English, and took them all as captives.

This man was a true patriot. He didn't win freedom for all slaves, but he certainly earned his.

Freedom isn't free. Even after the slaves were freed, they still haven't been given full and equal rights as Men, but we're getting there.

I hope you guys find a reason to be happy that you're here and not in other places of the world. At least we're trying to divide the lines of racism. Other countries like to believe that it either "doesn't exist" or that racism is an "American" thing.

If you are going to be permanently pissed off at the US for slavery, then leave.

The US isn't perfect. The country has made huge mistakes. However, there is still a lot to be thankful for. We now have a 14th Amendment, for example. We have a greater protection on freedom of speech and the press that any country in the world, particularly given how quickly many European countries have taken up censorship as of late.

If you're going to be anti-American for all time, no matter what, because of a historical injustice that cannot be changed without the use of a time machine, please do it from outside of the country.

What an awful and un american thing to say! Are you going to pay for his relocation? Are you ready to make him and his family a political refugee because he has a right to be pissed about how inequality is affecting minority citizens and silently protesting in his home is offending you to the point where you are telling him to move?

Fuck that, shut the fuck up and close your account.

as an equally american person, I disagree with this post and think you should be able to feel however the hell you want about our country with no obligation to love it or leave it
