Chris Rock: “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks.” No Mr. Rock that wasn’t fireworks on the first Independence Day. That was gunpowder and the sacrifice of those laying down their lives to purchase freedom. Four score and some years later another 600,000 Americans laid down their lives in the conflict to help set right what the founders got wrong. And it is unfortunate that you cannot appreciate the efforts of those that did far more to end the slavery of their times than you are willing to do in order to confront that which exists in ours.
