At this point, I’m pretty sure we have legal grounds to sue the BRF for the amount and level of disrespect they’re treating us on a daily basis

Happy fourth of July? Black Americans have had a complex relationship with the Fourth of July throughout history, encompassing a range of experiences and perspectives, including:

Protests: Enslaved people often used the holiday as an opportunity to resist their enslavement by running away, revolting, or striking for freedom. Emancipation: In the 1800s, Black Americans leveraged the holiday to advocate for emancipation and full citizenship, asserting that Black people had the same rights as white people.

Celebrations: Some African Americans celebrated the holiday similarly to white Americans, with activities like picnics, baseball games, and festive recipes. Parades often featured Black military units to demonstrate Black patriotism and fighting skills and honoring Black contributions since they have been ignored over time.

Ambivalence: For some Black people, the holiday is not seen as a patriotic celebration but rather as a time to gather with family and friends. Frederick Douglass, for example, famously questioned, "What to the slave is the Fourth of July?" suggesting a broader critique of American society from slavery to Jim Crow to ongoing issues like police brutality.

Hostility: In the aftermath of emancipation in the southern states, Confederate mobs sometimes reacted with hostility by banning Black Americans' celebrations of the holiday.

Example: Black patriotism has diminished over time and among some due to the weaponization and violence that target Black people by bigoted individuals. {image} A white policeman rips an American flag away from a young Black child, having already confiscated his ‘No More Police Brutality’ sign.
