Hello John,
Cancel Independence Day? Nonsense!

Forget the Fourth? No way!

Scotty Smart, who doesn’t think Americans should honor ([link removed]) the nation’s birth but must instead “hold America accountable” for racial injustice, got schooled by Project 21 ([link removed]) Co-Chairman Horace Cooper ([link removed]) on the Fox News Channel program “The Ingraham Angle.”

After Smart claimed that blacks in particular should not celebrate on Independence Day because “we weren’t free” on July 4, 1776, and also that blacks have been victims of “systemic oppression” for the whole of American history, Horace called Smart’s complaints “patent nonsense.”

Horace said to Smart:

You don’t know your history… Stay away from eating the Tide Pods and look at the history book!

And what you will see is there are a number of black Americans throughout history who stood on the side of freedom and liberty.

This celebration is for everyone who supports liberty. It’s not for whites. It’s not for blacks.

While not ignoring past injustices, Horace explained that America was founded on the basis of freedom and liberty. It may have not been completely free at the outset, but the ideas of the Founding Fathers have been fully realized over time...

Now is the Time to Celebrate America

[link removed] Center Vice President David W. Almasi ([link removed]) says Americans should be celebrating Independence Day, the genius of our Founding Fathers and the system of freedom and liberty that they created “now more so than ever.”

In an article by Hiram Reisner that has appeared so far on the websites of InsideSources ([link removed]) , the Duluth News Tribune ([link removed]) and the Prescott eNews ([link removed]) , David says the United States stands out in the world as a government that has been able to live up to the ideals of its founders and has adapted to be able to meet and implement those ideals over the last 244 years:

Of all of the governments in the world’s history, we are the one that has actually grown and adapted to circumstances.

So, yes, we are a country that was founded [to deal] with actual current events that are happening right now – where people are talking about slavery, talking about racial intolerance – because we are a nation who had that in our founding.

The Founding Fathers were smart enough and interested enough in seeing change that they laid the groundwork in a document written almost 250 years ago that was able to adapt — as society as a whole was able to understand the problems of slavery and the problems of racial intolerance.

David also points out a distinction between the people who are truly moved by the death of George Floyd and participate in “black lives matter” protests and those who are leading the radical ([link removed]) , deconstructionist and Marxist ([link removed]) Black Lives Matter group.

Reisner writes, “Almasi… says he believes that most Black Lives Matter protesters are patriotic — though he questions the motives of the leaders. He also said he knows people in the rank-and-file and considers them very patriotic.”
