The country was founded for white people, not blacks. The founding fathers made sure that blacks were second class citizens, not entitled to the same rights as whites. When the shackles of British rule were falling off the arms of white Americans, ending their enslavement, it was just the beginning of Black Americans'. So when a black person celebrates the fourth of July, they actually aren't celebrating their independence whatsoever, but literally their defeat and enslavement. Like I've said before, can you imagine white people happily celebrating the ISIS flag/holiday after Muslims conquered and enslaved white European/Europeans? Not a chance. Yet it is something specifically required of black Americans. Even on the most basic level, white people refuse to assimilate. If you look at South African whites, they have a victim mindset and refuse to pay homage to the rainbow nation, even if they were never enslaved nor genocided, like the American blacks were. They have a huge chip on their shoulder, create their own enclaves, maintain their Boer identity and language, and spit on the Black south African governance. I like it.
Black Americans should reject (white)American identity, symbols, and create our own separate national, ethnic identity in the same way. It is a proven fact that white Americans see themselves as the authentic Americans Nearly half of whites say a majority nonwhite population will weaken American culture Honestly, how couldn't they if this country was in fact created for them and solely them. If I go to Japan and call myself Japanese, while I can do that, It doesn't change the fact that Japanese identity isn't contingent on me as a foreigner. If all Japanese people were to disappear overnight, people would no longer see it as authentically Japanese. To that extent, we must create our own Black American identity and symbols, and eschew white identity symbols, that do nothing more than acquiesce to white supremacy and their own hegemony.
I recall back in my Conservative days I would cycle and do hill repeats around the city often. I had this American flag cycling shirt I got, and wore it during the fourth of July one time. I had white people constantly beeping at me and giving me props. Why? Well, because I'm black and I am shilling for their white American identity. People love tokens that will shill on behalf of their race. Happens on all sides, really. It's something that we as blacks must reject. I think if the country was more inclusive, people would all get behind one "American" identity", but that isn't the case and never will be. Our country is a racist one and was founded on racism. We must reject the white man's influence; We must create our own flag; We must create our own governance; our own national anthem; our own identity.
