4th of July is the Independence Day of the United States of America. Pretty big holiday. You probably already notice this. Let me make something clear.

I don’t want to hear shit about how terrible America is from 12:00 AM July 4th 2015 — 11:59 PM July 4th 2015. NOTHING. Period.

As a multiracial (but mostly Black/Seminole/Polish) gay man with Jewish heritage, I am quite informed about the conditions of my country, and I don’t need a fucking reminder on most days, but especially not this day. You can save your “Just a reminder that this country was built on the slave trade (:” posts and anything to do with Christopher Columbus’s fuckass or how awful Jefferson and Washington really were. Seriously. I don’t want to see it.

I spend 364 days a year critiquing my own country and fighting for positive change, give me my one day to eat some goddamn apple pie and light things on fire.
