Fourth of July is a racist holiday that celebrates nothing but white nationalism

Not necessarily, at one point sure, but now I’d argue it’s more civic nationalism

Is this similar to the perspective that Fredrick Douglas stated on the Fourth of July or are your reasonings a bit different?

Every single Fourth of July tradition is just a bunch of white trash. Burgers and hotdogs, fireworks, pool parties, parades, etc. Might as well just announce you’re a white supremacist

Not to mention it only celebrates the independence of white men

Newsflash: Only white people have burgers and hotdogs, fireworks, pool parties, and parades!

The issue is that all of them started with white people and now they’re forcing everyone to participate

Doesn’t matter what race started it, it shouldn’t matter unless our country was founded solely on the basis of racial segregation and racism *newsflash it wasn’t, it was originally started for religious freedom

It just happened to be founded in a time of slavery and racism

Again, when white male supremacy had been enshrined in the law I’d be on your side, but it’s not anymore—the country is more enlightened now and actually trying to live up to the principles of independence. Some of us just like getting with our family and friends to have a barbecue and celebrate the country’s progress/rights we have here. Idk why you have to call that white trash? That’s pretty rude tbh
