Yet another historical fact not taught in schools in order to continue the intentionally anti-Black narrative.

It's a mind game to let someone convince you to celebrate their prosperity when it was at your people's expense. Therefore on July 4th, I will be wearing a Juneteenth tshirt (the Red White and Blue Juneteenth flag is what you see in my profile pic) and will continue to buy Black. This is a reminder that although immigrants are used to deflect away from our contributions to the nation (literal centuries of unpaid labor, inability to pass on generational wealth, exclusion from handouts given to European immigrants like the Homestead ACT or G.I. Bill...and a real debt, reparations, owed) but we are the foundation of the nation's red white and blue wealth. The 4th of July that most celebrate is a double standard as our ancestors were still in chains. Racists have become way, way, waaaaay TOO comfortable with people enabling their abuse by saying it "makes them feel uncomfortable".
Reversing the situation, these real life snowflakes would call us "too sensitive" and say "get over it". It is a fact that July 4th is not a day of freedom for everyone. It is a condescending taunt and reminder that just like "ALL lives matter"...when "ALL men are created equal" was written...it meant all whites ONLY...because a loophole, declaring Blacks 3/5th human, was added to allow for slavery. How's that for comfort? Because it was never fully confronted, that same dismissive attitude has been passed on from generation to generation.

A Black Woman is responsible for the GPS technology that guides Google maps and navigation devices like Garmin and Tom Tom that are found in many cars. Yet...history books and media "conveniently forget" to mention that.

Tamir Rice. Shot by police at age 12 over a toy gun. Compare that to the white supremacist who targeted Black people specifically, killed 10 in Buffalo, NY. The killer was (like so many heavily armed whites) taken into custody alive. Today, June 25th 2022, Tamir would have turned 20.

Quick reminder for Memorial Day.
This holiday was started by Black former slaves in the U.S. and was originally called "Decoration Day".
Not a fan of "The Root" website but their video below gives a good quick summary:
