Truth be told.
Black people are
far more patriotic than folks are willing to acknowledge.
- A Black man was the 1st person to die in The American Revolution. (Crispus Attucks)
- Blacks have fought and died in
EVERY war/conflict America has been involved in.
- Blacks have always been at the forefront for the fight for civil rights and liberty even when it's not about them.
- Blacks defend democracy by participating in both the voting process and by volunteering for the military in large numbers.
- Blacks have been treated worse than any other racial group in American history, yet they remain loyal to The American dream, ideals and laws.
So, celebrating July 4th doesn't make Black people coons any more than celebrating Memorial Day or Veteran's Day.
Just enjoy it how you
choose to enjoy it.
Fuck the naysayers....
