If that’s true, why does this thread disparaging black grievance even exist?
It is indisputable that at the founding of this country, black people were enslaved, subsequently relegated to being 3/5’s of a person, and subjected to Jim Crow. In our lifetime the voting rights act was enacted and subsequently eviscerated.
Yet you expect them to engage in the same performative patriotism that you seem to enjoy so much and shut up.
Not my “deflection”. She said black people still aren’t free. It’s posted above.
It’s not working.
No, it is not true.
it was not about race at all
some things arent, contrary to what youve been told
Sorry…in1776, independence day was not for black people.
it is true that not everything was perfect in 1776. but the system was designed to address things that needed it. thats the genius of those founders
anyone who cant bear that like the racists morons in the OP can leave
doesnt matter. it is now
because of what happened in 1776
i guess the racist idiots in the OP actually truly wont be happy till white people are gone
sick
we have black presidents and VP’s too
but so what because there used to be slavery
spit on independence day
where do people learn this anti-american idiocy?
Living in my head?? We are on a political forum discussing politics. And since many on here are full blown Trump devotees, he is relevant in quite a few threads…has nothing to do with “in my head” . He is stuck to the bottom of Conservatives shoes. Clinton is still brought up here…lol
You should read Frederick Douglass’ Independence Day speech.
Now THAT is more un-American than anything in the OP. We don’t exile people that don’t agree with Conservatives in this country. We welcome them and their different viewpoints, and allow them to address the problems in this country.
You know, like your first paragraph. Which you type, bit clearly don’t believe.
If it unclear, allow me to summarize: “love it or leave it” is distinctly un-Americam.
i didnt say exile
it was merely an invitation
and please dont presume to tell me what i believe or not just to fit your narrative. thanks
“The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too — great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory.“
—Frederick Douglass.
“ What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”
I’ve read it every year since the early 2000s.
For those who don’t want to read, take a listen…
Read by the late Ossie Davis
I’m not disparaging black grievance - that was NOT the intent of this post. What I am disparaging is the typical progressive chorus that refuses to acknowledge any sort of improvement since 1776 or any positive historical achievement. They can’t step off the “most evil country in the history of the world” gas for one single day.
That’s you’re interpretation…don’t pin it on everyone.
i put it out there
if it sticks, oh well
Yeah they had a few gripes about old Uncle Sam. 
So…how independent were black people in 1776?
