241 Years Ago Today - Independence Day One

The Lakota, Cheyenne, Sioux, Cree, Mohawk, Blackfeet. Entire native nations wiped out and discriminated against..even to this day a concerted effort by whites to subjugate and oppress. Liberation and freedom? For who? Did you know it's illegal still this day to practice Native American religion? Flies in the face of "Religious freedom for all".

To this day the natives are a thorn in local and federal law.

 

But yeah!! Nice fireworks...

We weren't exactly peace and love with the natives when we were there raising hell.

You forgot to mention slavery, and the Native American Church (which isn't illegal last time I looked.)

But don't worry, the message of celebration wasn't intended for you, but for our American members, you can take it any way you want. But thank you for not reiterating the tedious point that July 4th is a mostly arbitrary date.

Yeah, that makes it all the better..?

Never mind Phan, thank you anyway. This American appreciated it.
