I always thought you guys were all about freedom.
When people say shit like this…it’s perplexing. Whites enslaved them so Whites expect debasing gratitude for finally freeing them?

blacks did in africa read african history. if your own ancesters were not sold off by there own you would not be here. blacks are just much part of the deal as those who purchased and most went south american and the islands.

You remember he was a black man wanting equality for all folks not just white folks. The Dreamer didn't die, racist trash like you murdered the Visionary.

Call me a bigot if you want but I don't think I could support a republican named Ramswami. That having been said , it seems the only on line criticism is directed at republicans. No surprises here.

The dream was from a black republican named Archibald Carey. King stole it.
WTF are you talking about?
Dr King realized he had made a mistake, he realized America was much more racist than he believed. The sickness of racism in this country has never been cured and you can see if from many of the members of this forum. Just like you.

The world is made of individuals. Stop being so racist!
My ancestors NEVER enslaved anyone. They did help FREE quite a few millions at great risk to themselves.

They need that crutch or they “can’t breathe”
Of course they are. Culture, however, is often collective.
Cool story. Demanding that Black people as a group be grateful when White people as a group were responsible for perpetrating race based slavery in this country strikes me self-serving. Grateful to people as individuals? Of course, but that isn’t how it was brought up.
Only some got to enjoy that freedom.
A country is made of people. The whole country was not free…and given that, Independence Day is going to have different meanings to different people. Juneteenth marks the day when the last of the enslaved people in this country were freed. We as a country were free then, right (at least in theory)? Isn’t that worth a celebration? If you don’t like it, don’t participate.
