The 5th Annual: IF YOURE NOT A WHITE MAN, JULY 4TH ISN'T YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY thread

Ain't nobody got time to read all that. Plus, he wrote it in 18th Century English which has most people thinking WUT?
The Clizziff Nizzotes.
Basically, he starts it saying that the Americans did the right thing and worked hard to fight against England because they were being oppressed as colonists. He didn't want to start off his speech on a negative note.
Then, he goes into the injustice that the Blacks went through in the beginning of American history, and were currently going through in 1850s America. He was bashing slavery of blacks.
The Civil War had not occurred yet. It would happen 9 years later.
The Emancipation Proclamation was signed 11 years later in 1863

SO i read 3 of the 5-6 parts, i'll go back and read the other's because the ether is pretty dam pure. Not only that but anyone wanting to learn how to frame an argument should really pay attention to how this speech is constructed. Very well done.
I will say this though, as this was written in 1852 can we agree that a few things have changed in regards to the "freedom" and justice all people receive in this country? I'm not saying everything is 100%, nor am i saying that now is the time to stop pushing towards that 100%, but at some point in order to enjoy the "freedom" that this nation was founded on you must embrace the nation no?
At what point, if ever there be a point, do minorities embrace the blood shed for the rights we enjoy today, not only the blood of other minorities, but of those who founded this country (not that there was no minority blood shed in that first conflict either)?
Douglas went so far as to call the founding fathers of this country great men, do we disregard parts of his very message when it suites our argument only, or reconcile the fact that though they were of different color those "white" men in that room in fact founded the very country you're in NOW and placed the framework for the very rights you enjoy NOW?
I wonder would Douglas celebrate the fourth today?

Didn't even read, but going off the cliffs a couple people have dropped...
July 4 is no one's personal independence day. Its the day our country came into existence as its own entity. Shouldn't we be happy about that? I am pissed off about a great number of things in our country. But if I didn't appreciate being an American I wouldn't live here.

yes yes we back again. just a reminder for the negroes and non whites out there who love to bless america, that if you are a "minority," at some point in your history the white man has probably had his foot up your ass. and more than likely his foot is still stuck in yo ass. but here you are blessing his endeavors. this is the reality check for all you god bless america nikkaz

get you a beer, eat your genetically modified bbq chicken, grab you a nice soft ass, and enjoy your day off
