I was In a "Q" joint today, and this white guy when he got his food told the sista behind the counter "happy Independence day". She,I, and others just had that blank look on our faces. I don't know what they were thinking, maybe it was the samething I was thinking.
"This day is not for us"......and it isn't.
But he had this big smile on his face as if he wanted us to be just as joyous.
Me personally see this day as a day off with pay...nothing more, nothing less.
Oh..and I get to set off explosives.
But to celebrate as if my race was included in this victory, and to think these words below was written with us in mind is foolish, and shows a lack of knowledge of our history in this country.
Peace!
