“. Last year the African-American preacher from Hyattsville, Md., wrote an essay that was carried by In it he asked: “How can I celebrate liberty with bondage —
economic bondage, (Free everything for your people)
educational bondage, (Free schooling for your people)
political bondage, (No Uncle Tom’s allowed)
health care bondage, (Free health care for your people)
and religious bondage (This one has me stumped)
— all around me?”
“Freedom To NOT Celebrate Independence Day”
So who was FORCING him to celebrate the 4th?
bump
The good news is that if you go to the original source of the Lamar piece, the Huffington Post, you’ll see a lot of comments telling this guy to get over it and move on to something more productive.
I’m sure that NPR will do a similar piece on not celebrating MLK day...
What will they say when August 4th becomes End of Ramadan and Baraq Hussein Obama Birthday?
Everything formerly good is distorted, perverted, backwards, upside down, or otherwise unappreciated now.
cause of black folk bondage in modern America:
Highest rate of birth among young women.
Highest rate of absence of fathers in the home.
Youth culture which spurns education and welcomes music which encourages sex, gangster life-style, and debases women.
Highest rate of incarceration.
Highest rate of unemployment.
Welfare mind set.
Excellent post.
For some reason (hmmmm?) the MSM never seems to make the correlation between the War on Poverty, destruction of the black family, and the horrible outcome.
But they do have their 96% solid voting bloc.
another issue for the list
constantly voting for democrats who perpetuate the welfare culture and victim model
“* I give a pass to the Jehovah Witnesses crowd. Their objection is a matter of faith.”
I don’t. Anyone not wanting to be Americans and our fellow countrymen can just leave, and that includes the Amish.
“As Cassius Clay once famously said, sort of...”
Unfortunately, he didn’t include us all in HIS boat: He was a draft dodging racists. He even renounced his parent’s name as “Cassius Clay is my slave name” and declared, “My enemy is the white people, not the Vietcong”.
“Cassius Clay is my slave name.”
What a crock. I found out after moving to Kentucky that there was another famous famous person named Cassius Clay. He was an important Kentucky politician in the mid-19th century, President Andrew Johnson’s ambassador to Russia — and an Abolitionist.
Well the United States gives you the freedom to express your hatred of it.
Isn’t that something to be celebrate?
I support your right to be intolerant of religions other than your own.
“I support your right to be intolerant of religions other than your own.”
Any religion intolerant of this country can leave it. So can you.
You are right on. Clay hates the USA.
He WAS correct in saying we are all in the same boat.
He has already seen the Asians pass them by.
Maybe, when the Aztecs pass them by, he (they) will get it.
I would not bet on the Africans.
I choose to celebrate my independence by not funding NPR.
I wonder if moonbats like the Amish, the Mennonites, the J. Witnesses, the Wiccans, the Unitarian Universalists, the Buddhists, and other religions of convenience/laziness would be so adamant about being conscientious objectors when their homeland is being burned down or they’re being forced to submit to Sharia Law. People who refuse to serve their military for idiotic reasons like that should not be allowed to vote, and should not receive exclusive protection from the military under any circumstance.
Geez. How long before the Statue of Liberty is renamed the Statue of Social Justice, Diversity, and Inclusion?
