All our ancestors suffered side-by-side through both natural and man made disasters for 400 years. We buried each others parents and celebrated each others blessings.

Slavery was not an institution of our making; it was foisted upon us by our colonial sponsors who left us to deal with it as best we could.

We have our squabbles, like any family; but when needs be we come together as we always have for 400 years and fight-side-by-side just as we are today against the Islomofacists who want to kill or convert all of us.

On St. Patricks day we're all Irish, and on Junteenth we're all freedmen. So fire up the grill, put the beans on to soak, blanch the collard greens, cool down the beer, dust off the jazz albums and lets celebrate what a great nation we live in.

I'll go along with you on the celebration part, but please don't suggest on this forum that Robert E. Lee was a traitor and needed to be executed.

Amen, brother!
