"Enjoy your Fourth!" I heard that line this entire last week. Of course, the people who said it simply meant have a nice weekend right? So why do I trip on something like this? Why can't I focus on bigger and better things? Well, first off I focus on a lot of stuff, but this is worth commenting on too because it gives a lense into how ingrained and institutionalized White supremacy really is. Think about it for a moment with an open mind. The holidays are all propaganda tools to advance White supremacy and international capitalism....PERIOD....So everyone doesn't think consciously about it, but it's assumed that the 4th of July is the day of freedom and independence for everyone in America right? How does the fact that that slavery was a full blown and operational system on 7/41776 fit into that equation? How does the fact that Indian lands were being stolen by the minute fit? How does the fact that we are expected to accept George Washington as our fore father when he owned people who look like me as property? You have got to be kidding or stupid if really want to pretend there isn't a serious contradiction there....George Washington and everything he stood for has absolutely nothing to do with me (and you either for that matter if you believe in that, but that's another discussion). This weekend is nothing more than the Fourth of the Lie...A continuation of the lie to advance the notion that the U.S. stands for freedom and equality when I know deep down inside, everyone knows like I do that it's all a bunch of lies designed to fill somebody's (not yours) pocket book.
