America wasn’t built on equality. It was built on oppression.... and in order for it to work there has to be a hierarchy and someone always has to be at the bottom.

This is one of my favorite books because the author dives deep into exactly how America was founded and formed and how the power structure is sustained.

England didn’t come to "settle" America they sought out to export their poverty.

Colonial America was populated by people the English elites labeled “waste people,” “offscourings,” and the unwanted poor..

After uprisings like Bacon’s Rebellion whiteness was expanded as a privilege to divide the exploited.

Poor whites were elevated, legally and socially, to separate them from Black people. Race was never supposed to replace class it's the tool to hide it.

Whiteness functions as a “status promise,” but for most white individuals, this promise never materializes to enhance their daily lives. Consequently, when people are facing difficulties, it becomes easier to redirect their frustrations outward rather than upward.

Still today you have so called "white Supremacist" and MAGA folks who will literally go out of their way against their own self interest to up hold their imaginary status, because in reality they, too, are stressed, priced out, and exhausted… but instead of that frustration turning into “why is the system like this?”, it gets rerouted into “who can I blame?”

Race and identity get pulled into the center. People end up fighting over culture, politics, and belonging while the more pressing issues like unsustainable wages, inflation, poor access to healthcare, and affordable housing stay untouched and even become weaponized.

As we "celebrate" America on it's 250th Birthday, it's important for us to remember that it hasn’t really changed at all, it just keeps getting older.

On July 4, 1776, while white America celebrated its declaration of independence, approximately 500,000 enslaved Africans and their descendants remained in chains in the thirteen colonies. They made up roughly 20% of the colonial population of 2.5 million people, human beings denied the very liberty proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence.

📹Press play and let the song speak truth.

For my ancestors, there was no freedom to celebrate. There was no liberty. There was no justice. There was no equality. They were bought, sold, raped, whipped, branded, exploited, and treated as property while a nation declared that “all men are created equal.”

Today, there is a determined effort to sanitize that history, to pretend slavery was merely an unfortunate chapter, that enslavers were simply “men of their time,” and that the brutality of chattel slavery should be viewed through a softer lens. No. There is nothing ordinary about owning another human being. There is nothing admirable about building wealth and a nation on stolen labor, stolen lives, and stolen futures.

We do not celebrate July 4 because we were not free. Independence Day was not independence for Black people. Our ancestors remained enslaved for nearly another century. Then came Black Codes, Jim Crow, racial terror lynchings, legalized segregation, disenfranchisement, redlining, mass incarceration, and the ongoing struggle to be recognized as fully human. Our fight for freedom did not end in 1776, or even in 1865. In many ways, it continues today.

That is why Frederick Douglass asked, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” His question still confronts America’s conscience.

So today I ask another question:

What to Black people today is the Fourth of July?

Until liberty, justice, and equality are more than promises on paper, it remains a day that reminds us not only of America’s stated founding ideals, but of America’s unfinished work to actualize them 250 years later.

Next time one of them want to tell you about "per capita" remind that that Black Men have the highest number of exonerations both in total volume and per capita. Black folks in America, 13.6 percent of the population, 53% of exonerations.

The Statue of Liberty was never intended to represent immigrants.

It was meant to celebrate freed slaves. You don’t need to put a bedsheet over it. Just give it back its original meaning.

We know he won’t, and we know exactly why.
