4th of July Why Blacks Should Not Celebrate It!!!!!!!
The 4th of July, independence day, celebrating America's freedom. But the question is have blacks ever really been free in America? I am not talking about abolishing slavery because we are still slaves. Not locked up in chains literally no and that's a good thing that blacks are not. But abolishing slavery did not end discrimination because it still goes on to this day. Just think July 4,1776 blacks were still slaves being sold in auctions all over America. Jim Crow laws came into effect with separate water fountains, schools, swimming pools and such. It was not long ago just over 40 years ago these laws were in effect all over the South. There is still discrimination in all walks of life jobs,sports,housing,construction contracts, etc. I could go on naming more entities that blacks are still facing discrimination. Yes whites received independence from England but when did blacks receive independence from White America? Still you see images on television depicting blacks in a negative light. Yes some of it is our own doing with killings but whites kill each other everyday. It's called the Mob and Mafia killings but it's never publicized in the white Jewish media. Blacks have been brainwashed to believe in "America Land of the Free, Home of the Brave". I say it's all a croc, the media trying to sell to blacks that we are really free. My Mom, Dad, Aunts, and Uncles fought against discrimination every day in the 60's and 70's. Yes things have improved but nowhere near enough to feel "independent". I say to whites when you are hung by your genitals, hung by a rope, subjected to Jim Crow laws, to separate but equal schools, to being followed around in stores because you are white to name a few come talk to me then. As for black folks we need to start picking up books and reading. Read about our history and read about things that white establishment tried to wipe out of the books. We are a proud and rich heritage and need to start behaving like it. A mind is a terrible thing to waste and we waste ours everyday by being ignorant and brainwashed by the white establishment to believe we have gained some kind of independence. So I ask again: when did black folks ever receive indepenence from white America? This is my rant for today. God Bless and be safe.

I agree with you 100%
ReplyDeleteWell put rant. Every time this holiday rolls around I stay in because my brothers and sisters - descendants of slaves are celebrating American freedom. Many know the history and still celebrate having devised a reasoning behind their celebration so as not to feel left out.
ReplyDeleteI cringe every time I hear someone white take for granted that their founding fathers are also mine.
Yes I have freedom, freedom to not celebrate this holiday that spits in the face of our history in this country.
You see, we are not allowed to walk in the truth because no one seems able to bear the truth. They just want to move on and forget the past. It is so foolish for a people who don't know their history, their past or their origin to believe they can move on. Move on to what from what.
If you don't know where you come from, you surely do not know where you are headed. How is it all people except descendants of slaves across sthe world, have a place of origin? Have ancestoral names? Have places in the world they can go back to called home except us?
My I wish our people would wake up and have the substance to hold on to the only thing we have that is real in this country and other countries where we are scattered and that is our collective LACK of identity.
We throw that away and we spit in the face of our ancestors who would cringe at the concept of celebrating this wicked holiday.
As long as there is breath in my body I will never forget. Forgive? Yes. Forget my history? No. Forgiveness does not require disconnecting from my history. They have done quite a job of trying to do that for me.
It makes me ashamed to hear or read anyone who is a descendant of slaves say, they prefer to move on and just be Americans. I don't even know what to say about a mindset like that.
Thanks for posting this article...
Shalom and blessings to you.
I am a black man in NZ....the only place I could think to go where I am considered an american and not a n***er. I don't fear the police, hell I see more fire trucks than police cars. In a country that has more black men in prison than University, you can keep it....I'll stay over here where I am treated like a citizen. GREAT RANT....AWESOME!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is some true information, I was telling someone about how it hasn't been that long when them white folks was spitting at black folks and putting us down, aspeacialy them older white folks, smiling at us and calling us all kinds names in there minds, they haven't gotten over the past at all, I don't trust the white race.......REAL TALK
ReplyDeletePowerful
ReplyDeleteI love it, I always find a way to express my dislike for these American holidays. The fourth of you lie is the worst holiday out of them all for blacks to celebrate.
