Is anybody else struggling with this 250 celebration thing? Not only are the celebrities dropping out, they were never checking in, as are, I'm assuming, many of the rest of us.
Celebrating the 4th of July has always been an ideologic struggle for many in the Black community, something to do with hypocrisy 👀...
I remember during the summer before my first year of law school, going through a program at a major law firm in Washington, DC. It was just before the holiday when a partner came in to address a group of mostly non-white students. He shared with us copies of the Declaration of Independence. With absolute glee and unmistakable pride, he explained that in his household, faithfully, every year on the 4th of July, they gather as a family to read that great document. Talk about not reading the room or knowing your audience. 🤦🏾 It was painful...
I'm sorry, I digress. That memory of July 4 is forever embedded in my recall...
I imagine that this year, 2026, many others in the nation are feeling conflicted about celebrating what should be a commemorative and historic event. Given the nation's current state of affairs, the notion of celebrating Independence and Freedom likely presents a hell of a struggle for many "good Americans" across the nation...
Tell me again, what are we celebrating?
A celebration of what? For what? Of whom? 🤷🏾
We are in the midst of witnessing whatever was created in those 250 years, good, bad, ugly, and indifferent, being intentionally destroyed by an anti-American regime, posturing as government, hellbent on an obvious mission to destroy the country as we sit by doing mostly nothing to stop it, but are somehow expected to join in celebration. Again, celebration of what?
In the spirit of the great Frederick Douglas who posed the question, What to the Slave, which has expanded to include the rest of y'all, is the 4th of July? The holiday, especially in 2026, has no meaning...
Miss Higgi Says, Stay Home on The 4th of July, 2026...
Boycott 250!
