July 3, 2018America is so AWFUL and RACIST that people are going to STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
What are they gonna do?
Crash your party.
Yeeeeeah. About that…
Community activists and advocates in Raleigh and in Durham are urging their social-media followers to boycott the Fourth of July this year, telling people not to buy hot dogs, not to buy fireworks. No celebration, they say, until the nation lives up to its values.
“I hope it’s going to start a chain reaction,” said Durham minister and activist Paul Scott, repeating the call he’s been making on social media for weeks.
“People are asking, ‘what can I do as an individual to make things better?’ Well, one thing everybody can do is boycott July Fourth,” Scott said on his Instagram.
Nothing “makes things better” quite like not eating hotdogs.
It’s a brilliant political strategy.
It’s Scott’s response to what he sees as hatred and injustice towards minorities in the current political climate.
“We are experiencing a rise in racial hatred, we have children of immigrants being torn away from their parents,” he said. “In this era of ‘Trump terror,’ I don’t think many Americans have too much to celebrate this year.”
How about the simple fact that you can SAY this nonsense out loud? Do you know what would happen under ACTUAL FASCISM?! That alone seems like cause for celebration.
It’s a day about FREEDOM… and they’re obviously exercising theirs.
.
“Don’t buy fireworks, don’t buy franks. Don’t buy none of that!” he said on Instagram. “That will send a message to this country that we will no longer tolerate injustice.”
In Raleigh on Monday night, Scott’s message was taking hold.
“This is something that everybody can participate in,” community advocate Diana Powell told a group of fellow advocates meeting at the Lighthouse.
But this LUNATIC takes it a step further:
Powell’s group is strategizing its own version of a July Fourth boycott. On Facebook Live earlier, Powell added her own twist for those who still want to celebrate.
“We want to know what your address is – because we’re gonna be crashing cookouts that day,” she said in her video.
OHHH HEEEEELL NO.
They want to turn OTHER PEOPLE’S July Fourth cookouts “into a rally for social justice — and stream it live.”
So um… if they eat OTHER PEOPLE’S HOTDOGS… does it still count as a boycott?
We asked Powell what she would say to critics who believe a boycott of Independence Day is divisive and unpatriotic.
“You look at the gentrification, the homelessness, the struggle, the drugs – it affects us. Do we really feel like we’re included? No,” she said.
What does this even mean?
It either affects you and you ARE included or it doesn’t affect you and you’re not included. Who’s not including you? What are you even talking about?
So what does a Fourth of July without the celebration look like?
Scott said parents should use it as a teachable moment for children to talk about freedoms for some that may or may not be extended to others.
“Turn this Fourth of July into an important conversation about identity politics and perpetual victimhood.”
