As A Black Person Why Should I Celebrate the 4th of July?

[Asclepias]

My neighbor came over and asked if I was going to do fireworks today. I told her no and that I do not celebrate the 4th. She asked me why and I told her I didnt want to spoil her fun. She insisted I tell her and I eventually relented. I told her that my ancestors were still enslaved on this day even though a man that looked like me was the first to die in defense of this country.

Don't.

Free country. Ironically.

Why celebrate anything? We all die and it amounts to nothing, anyway. All is vanity.
All.

Ya we really don't care what you do you racist garbage.

Many black patriots fought and died in the Revolutionary war for American independence.

But I guess it's still your freedom of choice to spit on your ancestors heroics that we celebrate on the 4th of July. ...

It must really suck to have to drag around that burdensome modifier "black" wherever you go from day to day. I know it probably doesn't get old to you because that's what you identify with, but it sorta gets old to everyone else who has to hear it over and over again.

You might have missed it, but there was once this guy named "Martin Luther King." He once visualized a country where a person would just be a "person.", regardless of their color. You might take some time out and go to your local library and read up on him. He had some interesting ideas.

How is saying Blacks were still enslaved spitting on other Black peoples heroics?
