Dan Gryder is a POS again

That’s why it’s hilarious. The person said, “Yeah, we pay a little more, but what does health insurance, university, clean streets and a public transportation cost you, oh you have to pay for that separately? Enjoy your five dollar footlong”

Yeah, I got rekt by a local… hard. Publicly. And he was right.

Yeah but they don’t get to blow up brown people in speed boats on the other side of the world, so who really wins here?

Haha, gottem!1!1!1

Crispus Attucks, Prince Estabrook, Cuff Whittenmore, and Peter Salem all just rolled over in their graves. You don’t get to June 19th 1865 without July 4th 1776. Juneteenth exists because July 4th happened. You can’t separate the two. The chain of causation runs directly through 1776. You can be proud of both. It’s ok to love your country.

Yet, they created a document where none of those people were considered a person.

Hush, have a seat.

The sheer “caucasity” of attempting to school a person on emancipation, whose great grandfather was literally born property, is a dumb hill to metaphorically die on. My family has been here since before George Washington was even a sparkle in his parents eyes on a mead-filled evening, through the revolution, served at the parties, barely getting the right to vote in the late 1800s, stripped away with the “Three-Fifths Clause”, fought in two world wars, Korea and Vietnam to protect rights they did not possess themselves in rural Alabama, I don’t know, I reserve the right to choose when, where and how I celebrate and what for.

I hope you don’t feel “Taylor” is actually my last name, do you? :)

Sorry for the slap-down, but it’s almost Juneteenth!

Calm down Carl. I think I’ll stand if that’s alright with you. And that wasn't the slap down you think it was.

I don't take lessons on oppression from someone pulling six figures in Scottsdale AZ. I will however take them from people who actually lived it.

"The Declaration of Independence is the ring-bolt to the chain of your nation's destiny. The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles."

And this about the men who wrote it,

"Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too — great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory. They loved their country better than their own private interests. He who will, intelligently, lay down his life for his country, is a man whom it is not in human nature to despise."

- Fredrick Douglas


Seems like a pretty good lesson to me. I suppose if you have a problem with where he’s coming from when he wrote that you can take that up with him.

There is a difference between inherited legacy and borrowed pain. One is honorable. The other is a costume.

The men in your family who actually sacrificed they believed this country was worth something. Possibly worth dying for. That is the deepest kind of American patriotism there is. You should try it sometime instead of weaponizing their graves.

July 4th 1776 is why June 19th 1865 exists. Douglass knew it. Your ancestors apparently thought so too. The only person in this conversation who seems confused about that is you. Celebrate however you wish. I couldn’t care less. I’m just telling you it’s ok to love your country. Ray Charles thinks so too.

I know, right?

Read in-between the lines, carefully, it’s very “telling”.
