U.S. Marines ran through Wall Street Tuesday morning as part of Fleet Week in New York, the city's annual salute to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Al Sharpton and other activists are telling Black Americans and Black-owned businesses to boycott America’s 250th birthday.
My response: You do not speak for me.
You do not get to use my skin color to tell me what I can celebrate. I was not a slave. You were not a slave. We are free Americans, and I refuse to walk around pretending we are still in chains.
Yes, I proudly put George Washington on my America 250 Cousin T’s pancake box. He owned slaves, but that is not his entire legacy. He was also our first president and helped build the nation that gave people like me the freedom to rise.
I went from foster care to building Cousin T’s, a successful Black-owned American company. I am living the American Dream.
So while Al Sharpton is calling for a boycott, I am calling for Black Americans to stop letting professional outrage merchants convince us that patriotism belongs only to white people.
America is my country too.
I will celebrate her loudly, proudly, and without permission.
This is in no way meant to parent-shame. This is meant to arm parents with the wisdom they need to protect their kids online.
I KNOW your baby is cute. I KNOW you want to share photos of them… but are you prepared for the consequences? The more research I do on this topic, the more horrified I become with the reality of modern society and internet culture. Please don’t think it won’t happen to your family. It can. #internetsafety #ai #aibaby #saveourkids
🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio breaks out in SPANISH to Latin leaders and tells President Trump, "I think I'm a good interpreter!"
I think Marco just signed himself up for YET ANOTHER job 🤣
"You alright if I? Good. We don't need an interpreter for this one...I think I'm a good interpreter, you'll find out in a second!"
Marco is awesome.
I'd like to remind everyone that Sophie Cunningham (@sophaller) was a placekicker and homecoming queen in high school.
Oh, and she had a mean finger pointing game even then.
I am in tears. President Trump JUST posted the US Search & Rescue Team saving a baby in Venezuela trapped under rubble
THANK GOD THIS BABY WAS SAVED
CHRIST IS KING 🙏
