re: #127 blueraven

I read it as a joke about “then” (the original Independence day) not about now.

I dont think he implied that African Americans have no reason to celebrate now.

Your information and links are great and should be better known by all Americans. I wish that were the case.
But Chris Rock is a comedian.

So - Chris Rock is a comedian? And so is excused from using his public position to educate people on a topic that is woefully under taught? And who the hell am I to do it? Nobody. No public stage for me. Nothing. Just an interest in finding the positives, the things that people can be proud about, that AFrican Americans participated in spite of their slave status. That’s pretty damned big, IMO.
