In what has become a Fourth of July tradition for Democracy Now!, we're rebroadcasting this 2003 video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's famous speech “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”
Exposing the white privlege of individuals like Amy Goodman has always been my daily tradition. Think Goodman's white life matters? Nope! Black Lives Matter ✊✊✊
I love your name, btw! How is that pronounced? Makes me think of Sonali Kolhatkar who hosts a radio show on PBS called "Rising Up With Sonali" (a daily digest of independent news analysis, investigation, education, artistic expression, activism in the public interest). She talks about lots of interesting and often frustrating topics.
When the truth hurts they resort to denial, diversion. accusations, lying, threats, and of course their favorite thing, violence. Satan seed has no new tricks.
Technically, you are a citizen today...guaranteed all rights by the 15th amendment to the US Constitution with the right to vote and representation....my dad was raised by his grandmother who left the plantation in 1872, which was a weird date to me, the war ended in 1865 why stick around 7 years....well between 1865 and 1870 the freed slaves were nothing, not slaves which were owners property and not citizens, they could be killed at will and many were no lose to anyone but the victims families, in 1870 President Grant got citizenship for my great grandmother and after saving up some bread left in 1872 because if harm came to her now, she was a citizen and by federal law consequences would befall any citizen that harmed here, Grant also founded the DOJ to prosecute individuals, city, county and states that failed to do that, our problem to day as blacks is we know just because all those laws are there don't mean much...
Only a monster would want to own a home that was the site of so much cruelty and suffering. The cruelty is what D.R. probably found most attractive. They didn't even change the name of this hellhole, "Mount Misery". I don't think I could spend an hour there without becoming physically ill. Reminds me of an auction I went to @ 30 years ago, at an old Catholic church and school that was going to be torn down. The place was very old, and creepy as hell. There was a basement where all the classrooms were, and when I went down those stairs I had an overwhelming sense of despair and fear in spite of the rooms being decorated for children. I had to go back upstairs and get outside, where I threw up and started crying for no reason. I'm not usually superstitious, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the place was evil. Later, I found that the school had been closed because of sexual abuse of children by priests (yeah, I know, what a surprise... NOT)
That's because the media and those in power have convinced modern society that to show anger or passion is a sign of immaturity and poor leadership. If you show anger or passion, it discredits you.
It's more than that. It's a joke, which aims to demoralize the slave by emphasizing: _We have what we have_ (self-determination and the ability to enforce it) _because we're entitled to it, and you don't because you're not. This is the way of things, and thus it should make you as happy as it makes us._ 😁 It takes the idea of an inalienable human right and turns it on its head, with a grin and a smirk. That's not just an illusion, but an abusive joke. Almost all American enterprise is conducted on stolen land, with the rightful owners held as perpetual captives in a nearly undisputed, continent-spanning apartheid system.
@@eyeswideopen918 No we are not slaves, if you are working for compensation to take care of yourself and your family. You just work for a living, slaves were never compensated.
@@josephmanuel1486 I'm from L.A. I may BBQ and get together with friends, but I don't celebrate it. No flags or anything. Many people here are like me. Most actually. I saw that people celebrate it much more in other states and you see more flags. But California and L.A. is very little in comparison to many other states.
"The feeling of the nation must be quickened. The conscience of the nation must be roused. The proprietary of the nation must be startled. The hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed, and the CRIMES against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced."
How can over 8000 people watch this and only 885 viewers hit the thumbs-up? Though I read three or four newspapers per day, I only stream my video news and DN is a useful source. I am grateful for Amy Goodman every darned day.
Ditto! 🥵🥵🥵. What do we as African Americans have to celebrate? How can WE celebrate your freedom without having our own? We don’t celebrate your joy. Oh, how it would feel to celebrate OUR own freedom in a Nation of oppression.
Barrack Obama became President, Thurgood Marshall became a Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Rainey went to Congress, Jackie Robinson became a true Baseball player, Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar, Richard Allen became the 1st leader of a Church, Guion Bluford went into Space. You can celebrate these People. Sheesh.
Smh, where was your cry for inclusion when the Asian community, LGBT community etc was being pushed to the forefront. No people has gone through and continue to experience what we have suffered. In all their wrong doing and broken treaties with some of the native tribes. They were at the least compensated regardless if it was adequate to the actions that was done against them. We were broken as a people and destroyed. No one spoke for us, no one helped us. All other nations participated in our enslavement and downfall including some of the native American tribes. So, what about the natives. Our time is now
At least they gave you something for what they did to you, and many others, the only people I am aware of that has not received any compensation for injustice is the people they used as their slaves. And guess what, we're still fighting for the same hueman rights that should be for everyone four hundred years later.
Everyone says that it's a stain. But I don't think people realize that was the way of the world. Families would sell their children into slavery, or their daughters to a prince for a mistress for security for the rest of the family. Slavery was how things worked, everywhere. So to start out, doing the same thing everyone else does, isn't a stain in my eyes. We should be proud that we found a better way. Let me be clear, I'm not saying slavery is okay. Never was, never will be! But, it was the way of the world. And America changed that. That doesn't constitute a stain in my eyes, that's a cause for celebrating. Not to mention, all the 14th amendment did was enslave us all equally. That's why we pay the bills, and the wealthiest still get to ride the gravy train. It's more complicated than that, but is the gist of it. At least that's how I see it, and how the history reads if you pay attention to the details, and ask the right questions along the way. Btw, I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong😏. Take care👍
A lifetime of tears, with each tear a representation of a life pained, tortured and killed, would fail to represent the lives the USA has destroyed... neverless I shed tears daily as a reminder I am not alone in the resistance of this oppression.
Well done, and so painfilled oracle of the severe, sad, truth! Man's inhumanity to all who are different on the outside. But fully alike on the inside... It's what you and your fate do On that will change the 🌎🗺🌏world as we know it .The time is NOW!!!

Amen! And remember, the colonists and Britain fought over STOLEN LAND. "The first reservation was established in southern New Jersey on 29 August 1758. It was called Brotherton Indian Reservation[14] and also Edgepillock[15] or Edgepelick.[16] The area was 3284 acres.[15] Today it is called Indian Mills in Shamong Township.[15][16]" Wikipedia
And never forget we’re all still slaves today! The oppression of the wage is also slavery. Always remember, it’s the few rich capitalists who think it’s right to give ALL THE MONEY to a few rich people! They’re insane.
Maybe The Juneteenth Holiday Passed on a National Level of 100 Years Set on 6/17/ 2021 for The End Of Slavery in the United States, and was “Officially”in the state of Texas. But, actually the state of Mississippi didn’t declare it official Until March 16, 1995; they certified it February 7, 2013 . Because of after rejection December 5, 1865. That’s only 8 Years Ago, Something To Think About. This therefore, allowed the criminal servitude and sex trafficking business to flourish, of Children, Women and Men from the inner and boarders of The United States, Which Still Happens Today, Pushed not only from criminal , corporation networks but also from governments. Federal and State to Townships. WorldWide. We don’t learn the same history and read the books and text of social mindfulness together in Schools across the United States. The state of VT abolished slavery in 1777, but they didn’t recognize MLKings Birthday in Schools until about 5 years ago. Just Saying. Anything is good But we could of done better and Be For The People, and not Blocked Voice Vote Rights, imprisonments, refugees , economic, racism , religious and political prosecution , genocide, sterilization and sexual discrimination , crimes against humanity, native , economic and environmental disasters During a population decreasing Pandemic that has no lines itself. And Look At US Now. Children in Cages, Citizens Held In Detention for Exercising Freedom of Speech and Right To Protests, Journalists/ Activists Murdered, Systemic Police Brutality, Xenophobia , medical and min wage crisis, and a cluster of domino Governmental Coops . Shameful. But We Are The Worlds Greatest Hope.

China has one country two systems, a pseudo communist ruling class and the powerless proletariat . The USS has multiple systems: the super rich, the middle class and the ghettos. The police protect the whites and their properties while the poor are at the receiving of the brutality. USA was born in a bloodbath of millions of native Americans and the offsprings of the survivors of that genocide still are subjected white bullying. The country was partly built by slavery but the blacks are no better now. Slavery is still enshrined in the US constitution. What is there to celebrate on Independence Day?
And what is the Fourth of July to Native Americans, Hispanics, immigrants and blacks in the present day? And I, the product of a white middle class background, can no longer abide the patriotic songs I was taught in school in light of not only the darker phases of US history, but recent and current US government actions in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. I suppose many would ask why I don't try living elsewhere, but the fact is that the deep state permeates governments worldwide through the influence of multinational corporate interests, cabals like the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Club and rogue technological operations in the shadows outside of governments. Conspiracy theories? We The People are SURROUNDED by conspiracies on all sides and, in spite of increased awareness through online sources, remain virtually helpless to take any effective action against them. I still enjoy the fireworks, though.
It’s also worth asking “What to the former slave is the Fourth of July?” There was a period, beginning July 4, 1865, where formerly enslaved African-Americans in the South celebrated the day in honor of their newfound freedom. This practice was later stamped out by the Southern white power structure.
yeah, before the parties switched. frankly i find the 2 party system mighty stupid anyway, there should be a lot more to more accurately represent people.
@@tesso.6193 I agree! Also, if we change to rank choice voting, it would give other parties a chance to grow in popularity. Right now, both parties have too many problems that keep them from being the best problem solvers. It's time for some new ways of thinking that aren't mired in the concepts of white slave owners from over 200 years ago.
*Even after Barrack Obama became President, Thurgood Marshall became a Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Rainey went to Congress, Jackie Robinson became a true Baseball player, Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar, Richard Allen became the 1st leader of a Church, Guion Bluford went into Space. The American Black Community still complains. Native Americans Have few Icons of History. They are in more right to complain. For shame*
Well let’s ask the people being sold in open air slave markets in Tripoli Lybia auspices of the USA who destroyed and destabilized that country for no good reason. ...why ask people from America’s vacuous victims Kulture??? Why???

I like most this Douglass' word:
"People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get"
Douglass words are so much better than anything you'd hear from a so-called leader of today.
That's because the media and those in power have convinced modern society that to show anger or passion is a sign of immaturity and poor leadership.
If you show anger or passion, it discredits you.
Just an illusion, that's what July 4 is to the slave in a society of unending slavery.
The illusion is that we are all slaves ( the working class) and it’s not about color.
It's more than that. It's a joke, which aims to demoralize the slave by emphasizing: _We have what we have_ (self-determination and the ability to enforce it) _because we're entitled to it, and you don't because you're not. This is the way of things, and thus it should make you as happy as it makes us._ 😁

I suppose many would ask why I don't try living elsewhere, but the fact is that the deep state permeates governments worldwide through the influence of multinational corporate interests, cabals like the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Club and rogue technological operations in the shadows outside of governments. Conspiracy theories? We The People are SURROUNDED by conspiracies on all sides and, in spite of increased awareness through online sources, remain virtually helpless to take any effective action against them. I still enjoy the fireworks, though.
Amy ever hear of context?

It’s also worth asking “What to the former slave is the Fourth of July?” There was a period, beginning July 4, 1865, where formerly enslaved African-Americans in the South celebrated the day in honor of their newfound freedom. This practice was later stamped out by the Southern white power structure.
I think that Amy and co. Celebrate independence day, but don't want people to know they do.
You do know Frederick.Douglas was a REPUBLICAN right?
Yeah long before the southern strategy and the civil rights act of the 60's. You do know that right?

yeah, before the parties switched. frankly i find the 2 party system mighty stupid anyway, there should be a lot more to more accurately represent people.
But he wasn’t a conservative!
@@tesso.6193 I agree! Also, if we change to rank choice voting, it would give other parties a chance to grow in popularity. Right now, both parties have too many problems that keep them from being the best problem solvers. It's time for some new ways of thinking that aren't mired in the concepts of white slave owners from over 200 years ago.
We never hear too much about colored owners in the South either
*Even after Barrack Obama became President, Thurgood Marshall became a Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Rainey went to Congress, Jackie Robinson became a true Baseball player, Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar, Richard Allen became the 1st leader of a Church, Guion Bluford went into Space. The American Black Community still complains. Native Americans Have few Icons of History. They are in more right to complain. For shame*

Well let’s ask the people being sold in open air slave markets in Tripoli Lybia auspices of the USA who destroyed and destabilized that country for no good reason. ...why ask people from America’s vacuous victims Kulture??? Why???
