PS: If you don't want to be American, faggot, GTFO!>

:aargh: I'll sic mah niggas on ya, bitch. With bats.

So sorry, I'm from the land of real black and white Americans, you?
 
Saying I dont isnt begging them to ask why. They made that decision because they cared to know.


She was just being polite, since you obviously wanted to talk about it. Trust me, Asclepias, NOBODY CARES.

be not snotty Circe. Holidays are tough for many people for many reasons. January 1 st was almost a day of mourning in my childhood

True, irosie. I like being snotty and plan to continue, but I'll leave this thread since it's pointless anyway.

Unless there's a vote on whether Asclepias should go to Liberia or Haiti. If so, let me know. I'm thinking Haiti, but I'm open to arguments.
 
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.
No one cares.
If thats true why do people ask me why I dont celebrate the 4th?

People are asking, or was a neighbor just making small talk? Your people have been free for a good while now. As long as you decide to continue to live here, then this is your country too. Many of your people gave their lives to defend this country. Many of "your people" will be paying homage and enjoying the day. You have a choice. You can either enjoy the day, or spend it wrapped in bitterness.
Have a good day!
 
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.

Actually its pretty empowering being Black.

MLK also said he thought he made a mistake trying to integrate with whites. I'm guessing that was kept from you.


I don't see how it's "empowering", being black. After all, you Democrats lost the most important election of your lifetimes.

Now it might be "empowering" to be a Republican or a conservative right now, because we own this shit. But please, don't equate "republican" or "conservative" with "white", because there are plenty of black Republicans and conservatives. We are after all, the ones who held a Civil War to stop slavery, enacted constitutional qualities, and voted for Civil Rights in the 60's.

Your buddies in the Democrat Party fought tooth and nail to prevent those from happening, ya know.
I never asked you to see how it was empowering to be Black. I was just informing you that it was empowering. Now that you have finished deflecting please answer my question.

I'll answer your question with another question:

Are you black or are you an American?
Both. Black American/African American. Now how does that relate to my question?

You're a Jive Turkey on the BBQ of the Forth of July.

But you are also American even though your Independence was a century later. Perhaps it is still ok to celebrate the 4th.
You dont think its hypocritical to celebrate something your ancestors were denied? I could see if we all celebrated Juneteenth. Thats the real independence day when all americans were free.

I am a woman. My gender was denied equality and full independence in eyes of the law and culture.

But I am still going to enjoy the 4th. Brave women fought for the rights I now enjoy in my country. I am not going to insult them. Just my opinion.
Why do you think not celebrating the 4th is insulting someone that fought for this country? The 4th is not the same as Veterans day.

Nobody did, you just put it out there. so take your racist garbage and fuck off
My neighbor did and several whites have asked me the same thing. No I wont fuck you. I just want you to provide an answer to my question.
They already told you you shouldn’t! If you have to ask you are too dumb to learn.

So? I'm a white American and a British-American. That doesn't mean I celebrate British colonialism.
 
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. ... :cool:

And blacks still were slaves when it ended. Don't forget that part of the story.

So he's spitting on no one.

both Haiti and Liberia are in bad shape lately-----Haiti by virtue of natural disaster and Liberia in political turmoil----how about Brooklyn?

No one cares
FYI slavery still exist in Africa
and obama was into human trafficking of illegal children
You care. thats why youre commenting.
No, I'm just telling no one cares what you do
What I do care about is your total disregard of slavery that still exist and the human trafficking coming to America through Mexico.
Not really concerned with what youre telling me. It would be like listening to a monkey. I know they care because they display the eagerness to know.

I can give you one with certainty. be happy you aren't living in Canada.
I love Canada. Well Vancouver. Almost moved there. Still looking for some reasons I should celebrate the 4th though. So far after all these pages I have only got one response. Fun


Let me put it to you this way, ask yourself the question "what other country would I rather be in?" If you cannot come up with an honest answer that you would pack up all your shyte tomorrow to move to, than you should celebrate your liberty today and the fact you are in the best country on earth.

Or.................he could just move to Haiti or Liberia.

Could we vote on it?

Agreed. Go be black somewhere else, this day is for free Americans.

So he's spitting on no one.
and blacks owned slaves did you ever consider your ancestors might have been slave owners?

Countless black people fought for the freedom of this country, it pisses me off to see the way your sorry ass denigrates them. Idk what else to say, Thank God for real American blacks, and the sacrifices they made, and not Asslips.

I surely would like to introduce you to a friend of mine or two.

People are asking. If the neighbor was only making small talk there wouldn't have been any insistence on knowing my reasons. I know this is my country. My people were the major builders of it. I'm not bitter. Thats something only an idiot would say. Are you bitter when you dont celebrate Juneteenth or Hanuka?

They probably don’t. That’s why you fantasize about it through posting here. That way you can unload the diatribe you’ve worked up, by positing a fantastical scenario, whereby setting the stage for you to say “what you would say, if someone actually gave a shit enough to ask you”. But they haven’t. And that’s how we get this thread.
And after all that theatre... Still, no one gives a shit.

The 4th isnt Veterans Day. How is not celebrating the 4th denigrating anyone? Do you know what denigrating means?

Don't.

Go to McDonald's. Get a fish sandwich.

Go home and watch reruns.

Ain't liberty grand?
Dont what? Thats not an answer to my question.

Juneteenth actually only applied to Texas. Because it was on June 19, 1865 when the former slaves of Texas learned they were free. Other former slaves in other states learned of their freedom at other times.
