      Frederick Douglass was a prophet. Every single word of this is as true today as it was over 150 years ago. Read it all. The 4th of July was always been a sham. Always.pic.twitter.com/eaU4tIj8RR

      Nothing is whiter than celebrating “freedom” while thousands of children of color have been forcefully separated from their parents and shipped like cargo all over the country to live with strangers.

          The United States not only has more people in prison than any country in the world, this nation currently imprisons more of its citizens than any country in the history of the world. More than South Africa at the height of Apartheid. The 4th of July was never meant for us.

          Also, what does "color", an invasion of illegal foreigners, and the breaking of our Nation's Laws have to do with Celebrating our Country's Declaration of Independence from the British Empire have to do with each other? We're in 2018, not 1852. The U.S. is so much better now!
