I don't see July 4th as anything more than an excuse for family gatherings and cookouts

Otherwise I couldn't give a shit and I'm not into the whole acting patriotic thing either

Friends,

It needs to be moved to Monday. and Just called Independence day.

I really do not like fireworks, and neither do my cats.

I am doing nothing. taking naps, playing video games. looking at memes.

If you mean the over pouring of patriotism, no. I don't hate America or anything, I'm just not into all that performance of "patriotism."

I celebrate it for the same reason I celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Yes, I celebrate July 4th.

But, if I'm being honest, I would have probably fought on the British side if forced to make a choice. Both sides promised blacks who fought for them their freedom, but the colonies lied and sent them all back into slavery. The British pretty much kept to their word to the black loyalists even though they didn't win.

Black Americans are never going to get far in this country being eternally angry.

Me, I'm proud my parents came to this country, knowing it was a land of opportunity. If they didn't, I'd be struggling to get by in a poor Caribbean nation.

Just wow...

I didn't know their success was contingent upon whether or not you find their attitude displeasing.

Where do you get your confederate flags dry cleaned?

By this logic, the Civil Rights movement would have never happened.

And yes, what you posted was racist.

yea, but mostly because it's also Rwanda's Liberation Day, where the RPF defeated the previous genocidal government regime, ending the genocide against the Tutsi.

You have different viewpoints then many other African Americans. Since your family immigrated, my family did not immigrate .
