‘Squad’ member blasts July 4 celebrations: ‘Black people still aren’t free’
New York Post ^ | July 5, 2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

Far-left Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), dismissed Independence Day Sunday as a holiday meant for white people before claiming: “This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.”

“When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people,” tweeted Bush, a member of the progressive “Squad” of lawmakers that includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Radical blacks define freedom as socialism, where everybody else is working to send them social benefits.

They want nothing less than slavery.

‘Black people still aren’t free’

Go to North Korea or China and find out how freedom works.

If “black people still aren’t free” then what was all that Juneteenth crap all about?

Not a typical Democrat?

What, pray tell, remains of the old extreme Left that is extreme to the Left anymore?

It’s why everything now looks like the extreme right to them even though those folks necessarily haven’t subsided with the popular culture.

No, they’re examples of Democrats who don’t feel the need to hide their socialist hopes and dreams.

Other elected Democrats, almost without exception, feel they still need to hide it.

Conservative Democrats are almost as rare as Unicorns these days.

She’s not being held against her will here. She’s free to return to where her ancestors came from.

Blacks won’t be free until they are allowed to commit any/all crime with total impunity.

San Francisco is leading the way on this issue.

What he wants is all Whiteys turned into slaves, working all day for nothing, and all the money going to people who vote democrat.

Slavery ended a long time ago. The reason for black failure is within the minds of the ones failing. They are still slaves to government, and as long as they are slaves, they will fail miserably.

Government wants them to continue as slaves. It doesn’t want them to have jobs. (Remember how Trump brought back jobs for them, and how the democrats initiated a worldwide epidemic in order to kick blacks out of their jobs?)

Blacks won't be free until they stop allowing White liberal Democrats to control them through political manipulation. When the Black vote is evenly split between the major parties, they will be free.

And that is not happening. Until the sun burns out and they start on a second sun. Or climate change, changes it.

First of all Independence Day is about...Independence! From England. That independence brought black people with it where they were eventually emancipated by the blood of hundreds of thousands of Americans...including free black people.

Secondly please demonstrate how black people aren’t free. Please specifically point to ANY law or rule or idea that keeps black people down other than their own professed victim hood. If you keep on insisting that you are a victim you always will be. Stop blaming white people for your own self imposed failings.

Cori is a slave on the Progressive Plantation.

Her primary attribute is that she is a slave who minds her masters

The only chains on black people are the ones they have shackled themselves with, forged by their own imagination.
