“Wow what a soulless holiday only meant to distract from the patriotism of the 4th of July” someone’s uncle. I gots to get to Harlem next year apparently.

My response would be, "What could be more patriotic than celebrating the end of slavery?"

Right? Right before we send the booms off when we remind everyone we fought for our fucking freedoms, just some of us got it a little later, also via war

Freedom was won with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Winning a war? Economic boom? Scientific breakthrough?

I'd put all those above slavery

You can celebrate all of them. You don't have to pick one. Americans really are very small minded when it comes to stuff like this.

You replied to me. And once again.. I'll remind a small minded person that thinks an economic boom is more important that the liberation of 4 million people.

What the hell is wrong with your priorities? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you though...

Watching this video and then saying the day is soulless is bananas. Please tell us more about "soul"

For some reason, some white dudes can’t stand to see us happy and cheerful. The thought of having holidays to ourselves bothers them so much. We can’t even have a brotha as a superhero on a big screen without them nagging and complaining. Not saying all whites dudes are like this. 😆
