REMINDER FOR #July4th
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/02/americas-twofold-original-sin/606163/

1776 was a revolt from the nascent criollo #oligarchy.

the slaveocrats & their colonial managerial class, staged #falseFlags like The Boston Tea Party, in an attempt to frame First Nations for crimes against the crown ―as merciless Indian savages. their end goal: for George III to arm them for a genocidal & native slave-catching war westward.

when the king refused, the "insurgents" ―led by slaveocrat George Washington―, went to war.

good morning Americans

if you wish to engrave something upon your heart, first inscribe it with your hands and profess it with your voice.

(long text warning) Two sheets of cursive brush calligraphy in metallic ink reading: What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, AT THIS VERY HOUR. Frederick Douglass 1852

I want folks setting off fireworks this weekend to be a lot more explicit about what in particular they're celebrating.

Is it the concentration camps?
The ritualized and institutionalized bullying of trans kids?
Maybe the Supreme Court giving immunity to the president, all the while de-fanging the rest of the court system.
Or maybe that our congressional representatives are currently arguing over how many millions of people they want to take healthcare away from?
