He did include far far leftists, I'm assuming they're white. It's seems to me your initial post would be better directed to the entertainers he refers to as they seem to believe Black people have no business celebrating the 4th.

But we all know that YOU do hate Black Americans. So how is that different?

You have an "agenda" and it is abundantly clear in the threads you chose to create.

Again, YOU owe ALL of the people of African descent who have fought and died for America an apology. How dare YOU? How do you think you are? You are spitting on the graves of MY ancestors who gave their lives for this country in service.

There isn't an ounce of "patriotism" in what you are doing? And you should really be ashamed. Disgusting.

I'm not too familiar with Aaron Sorkins, I don't think I enjoy most of his works anyway. I'll make more of an effort to avoid Chris Rock's works in the future.

Never waste an opportunity to bash America and play the race baiting game. News flash, we dont have slavery anymore and im pretty sure non of you black people alive now were ever slaves, so quit going out of your way to find something to whine and cry about. I realize most of you will always see things through race, but you know what? Youd be better off and a happier person if you didnt.

And if you live in America, and have such a problem with it, get the hell out then. Thats to people like Chris Rock. How many millions and millions has he made for not being funny in America? Only to bash it when ever he gets the chance. Get out you unfunny, over paid, jerk. Move to Africa, Iran, North Korea.
.....says the guy who started his 100th race baiting thread.

Mod changed the title. Hope this suits people a little better than my title. This wasnt created to bash black people. But to bash those using race to bash America on its birthday.

We live in the greatest nation, for now, on earth. Where EVERYONE has the opportunity to succeed if they try hard enough, and if they sometimes luck out. You're free here. You chose your path. Our past isnt always pleasant but we are not there anymore. To hold such hate and anger for our country, especially on its birthday, you really shouldnt complain if you actually live here. You have such a view, then leave. Go find another country that you think is better or has a better history then. Let me know how that works out for you

As Calipoppy correctly points out Blacks have fought in every war this country has ever had and even before that. They are one of the earliest ethnic groups in the country. Blacks in America are wealthier, more educated and enjoy a far better standard of living than any other Sub-Saharan African descended people on Earth.

So why shouldn't African Americans celebrate the 4th of July? Why would Black celebs choose to bash America on its birthday while simultaneously ignoring the many positives of the Black experience in America?
You do know that wealth is distributed only by 2% of the population right? Therefore, I'm pretty sure these black celebs are referring to the other majority percent of the black population who are destitute, struggling, and discriminated against on a regular basis.
