'Happy white peoples' Independence Day': How Left-wing celebrities belittled Fourth of July.
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 4, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 07/05/2012 7:13:58 AM PDT by C19fan

Twitter was filled with patriotic declarations, pictures of fireworks and descriptions of highly-caloric barbeques on the Fourth of July. For a few celebrities, however, the day served only as a reminder of past injustices. Comedian Chris Rock, followed by actors Don Cheadle and Zach Braff, brought the unsaid racial tensions of the country to the front burner by reminding his followers that slavery continued for many years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

George Washington offered freedom to his slaves due to their numbers growing to large and they wouldn’t leave. When he died his wife gave them all their freedom and they stayed for decades working his plantation.

The first slaves were brought here by a Black man.

Pray for America

Your dry humor makes several good points.

But one point that should be made directly is this. Neither Thomas Jefferson, nor those other signers of the Declaration Of Independence, believed that all people were equal; or that Government had a role in trying to equalize their circumstances (i.e., they did not embrace Socialism in any of its inane manifestations). That is not what was meant or intended by the recital of self-evident concepts in the preamble of the Declaration.

They were simply refuting the notion that the King had a divine mandate to rule them. That was the function of the language that the foolish & malicious endlessly cite, completely out of context. Pretending that everyone is equal is to fall into a fantasy world, where no real progress is ever possible.

I wonder how good their lives would be right now, if their ancestors had never been brought to the Americas?

For an idea look at all the totally cool, free, democratic and prosperous African countries that exist in the world and SEE how well they'd be doing... They don't exist.

Majority black cities run by corrupt black democrats tell us how they would have created 'culture' here if they had been in the majority. Detroit's a example... South Side of Chicago - Philadelphia... name one American city run by blacks with a majority black population that isn't a crime ridden cesspool.

Chris Rock thinks every place black culture's entrenched we;d find happy communities, safe streets, flourishing young businesses, and safe successful schools... He's wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Rock needs to open his eyes and start dealing with the truth...

We need to accept that many on the Left hate America and its traditional values and what it stands for. What has changed is that they no longer try to hide or even disguise their hatred of America in their quest to "fundamentally transform" it.

I’ll take it further, the Left hate Christ and His Laws,
and that is why they oppose “traditional values” and seek their removal from our society.

“...that slavery continued for many years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.”

And, moronic celebrities continue to pontificate more than 200 years after the signing of the Declaration.

Hey, Chris. Did you and your abysmally ignorant Homie buddies ever wonder why there are so few blacks in the Muslim countries of the Middle East? Hmmm?

It's simple. Muslims were the slave traders. They knew Muslim buyers preferred black eunuchs as slaves so they sold them what they wanted. Nine out of ten of your possible ancestral Homies never survived the castration operations - but the slave traders didn't worry. There were plenty more blacks available where they came from and they were used to the agonized screams of infidels so that didn't bother them. Besides, it kept the prices up to have fewer available. The ones that did survive went on to be eunuch slaves for Muslims but never reproduced.

Go ahead, Chris. Search around. Look high and low for your Middle Eastern ancestral Homies. There aren't any.

You are a moron - and so are your ignoramus buddies. You ought to be thanking God every day for being in the United States. Instead, you curse the land which gives you a chance at Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

A pox on you and your stupid, ungrateful, and morally bankrupt friends!

Hey, Chris, you’re a slave now too, just like the rest of us.

Differnece is that you’re too damn stupid to even realize it.

Enjoy your chains, bud, you deserve ‘em more than I do.

“Chris Rick” owes Crispus Attucks a pilgrimage to his memorial in Boston to apologize for his ignaance,

Attucks is buried in a common grave with the other MEN who died in the Boston Massacre. His race is not mentioned in his obituary

“First to defy, first to die”

What do little people like C. Rock know about MEN and sacrifice?

Democrats were and are in favor of slavery which is enabled by calling the workforce “the government”. People can benefit guiltlessly when they imagine their goodies come from a disembodied institution called “government” and are not made to see that what they get comes from another person’s labors. The government hands out all sorts of goodies and yet the government has no money of its own.

...exactly, black men cannot run anyplace in Africa where they are a majority.... where they all fall subject to traditions, traditions in tribalism, illiteracy, corruption, racism , topped with genocide and other failings in human development.

Many blacks have ancestors who were slave owners.

There were thousands of blacks who owned slaves. There were even black slave breeders who sold their own children into slavery. IIRC the first freed black became a slave owner and breeder.

I will never again watch this worthless, low-life b**tard in anything he does or says. I certainly will not pay to attend any movie in which he has a part and I will turn the television channel should I find him trashing up my TV screen.

If he and his “bretheren” don’t appreciate all that this country and its people (white, black, and others) have done for him, let him get out.

Yeah, I don’t blame the recipients as much as I blame liberal activists.

The recipients believe that the government just pulls the money out of its collective @$$. Remember “I dunno... from his stash!” The only thing I’d blame the recipients for is there willful disregard for where the money really comes from. It doesn’t make sense that the president is giving them money “from his stash”.

Liberal activists are doing it on purpose, with malignant and punitive intent. They are the modern slave masters.

Wife and I went to a fabulous 4th celebration yesterday. They did a massive fireworks display to a simulcast on FM radio. The crowd sat on their cars blasting the best patriotic music ever! The crowd was white, Asian, Hispanic, and black. There was huge applause at the end and many teary eyes.

God Bless America!
