I know today is the Fourth of July and everything, but I can't help than feel a little less than patriotic on a day where my people didn't have independence.
I'm not a party pooper or anything, I mean I'll go to a cookout...but I simply don't feel as thought 4th of July means anything to me as a Black woman. if that makes me "unAmerican" then so be it, but I'm more in favor of Black people take Juneteenth off and celebrating it as our indpendence day than to just accept 4th of July just because it's a federal holiday.
I didn't get to do it this year....but next year, I'm taking Juneteenth off.
