Why I think we need to outlaw the Fourth of July and the CRT (Caucasian Revolution Tale)
A Thread
First of all, I have never studied this so-called document but i know it’s divisive.
Do we want our children “declaring their independence” when they can’t work out their differences?
Plus it teaches that we are “endowed by our creator” with certain unalienable rights.
Is this what we want our children to believe? That, instead of working hard for their rights, they have to wait for an endowment from a a creator who governs all?
This sounds like a government handout to me.
It literally tells kids that they are being oppressed.
This ideology makes people hate their country just like the colonists hated Britain.
We are all one
This the same rhetoric used by the terrorist BLM movement. (British Laws Matter)that’s destroying cities with riots, looting & Tea Parties.
They are being taught to destroy property and tear down statues.
It teaches kids to hate the police and the troops, too. Sure, Crispus Attucks was unarmed when those officers shot him but they feared for their lives! You saw the court transcript!
Any it’s revisionist history.
One, because it was revised
Two: July 4, 1776 IS NOT WHEN AMERICA DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE!
Three: You know who DIDN’T celebrate the Fourth of July?
The actual founders.
But even then, they didn’t go flag crazy. It wasn’t even a holiday yet.
The current flag with 13 stripes and a star representing each state didn’t exist until 1818. It was signed in April but it specified that the flag can only be changed on July 4.
You know what else happened in 1818?
Karl Marx was born.
It’s clear: Anyone who celebrates July 4th or flies the American flag should is not doing what the founders would have wanted so they must be celebrating Marx’s bday.
Perhaps the only thing worse than contradicting the founders would be to go against MLK
HE LOVED America.
And he would NEVER disrespect his country like that
And he DEFINITELY wouldn’t have accused his country of being racist. He would’ve AT LEAST discussed Black on Black crime instead of blaming his conditions on racism and oppression like some crazy, America-hating critical race theorist!
He would’ve said something like:
This is why we need to ban the 4th of July. It is revisionist history; it goes against the wishes of the founders and it is a Marxist holiday.
But I don’t celebrate the 4th of July for another reason
Now, the first thing we have to acknowledge the inherent whiteness of your question.
You don't get to define the idea of freedom. For instance, there is a reason why most countries don't allow everyone to own guns carte blanche; it's stupid.
Had it not been for slavery, 2nd Amendment wouldn't exist in the federal constitution. Only 4 of the original 13 state constitutions contained a "right to bear arms'
According to @Grok, Apartheid Elon is literally the biggest spreader of misinformation on Twitter. But I'm willing to give the literal Grammar Nazi a pass on this one because he doesn't know much about HIS OWN history.
It began before America existed, when the Favres, a white family (Yes, an ancestor of Brett) moved to the Mississippi Valley to start a family business. They initially worked for France. Then, Spain. They eventually secured a lucrative contract with the US government.
The scam was simple. They would move near a indigenous people to trade guns in exchange for allowing white people to live in peace.
Now, EVERY CULTURE fought over territory, including the Choctaw & other natives. So having more guns than a rivals meant more territory.
In the days before WebMD, an enterprising scammer could make a fortune promoting ANYTHING as a health product. If you wanted to stay healthy, you needed to include gin, a few cigarettes and some tonic to your health routine
But if a scammer REALLY wanted people to trust a product, they would sell it straight to a pharmacy. Like the dude who couldn't sell his tonic named after Dr. Joseph Lister (who had nothing to do with it). He made a deal pharmacist, & the pharmacist sold it as a health drink
I've seen SO MANY ppl use the shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:
I agree with those people.
We need to end the WHITE welfare state
BECAUSE welfare works.
A thread:
The original welfare program began when the government decided to help the lazy, uneducated Jamestown colonists who didn't want to work. In exchange for bringing carpenters, farmers & indentured servants who knew how do stuff, colonizers received 50 free acres in "headrights" or "patents."
Virginia even recorded names of the migrant workers. On Apr 19, 1638, George Menefie received 3,000 acres for 60 "servants." But there's only 37 names.
What happened?
He received 1,150 acres, an area about the size of Harlem, for 23 unnamed "negroes..."
I’m sure you think I’m gonna mention Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the Black fur trader who is known as the first non-indigenous resident of Chicago.
But du Sable was not enslaved when he moved to the mouth of the Chicago river in 1790.
So who TF was buying furs?
Well, remember all that was French territory. In 1719 French entrepreneur Philippe François Renault hopped in a boat in the South of France, stopped in Haiti to purchase 200-500 humans beings & headed to “Upper Louisiana”
By 1760, 900 ppl were enslaved in “Illinois Country”
