what to the slave is your fouth of julie?

I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelly to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

fred was talking about those united states of america but i see much the same here today in this scuntry called Guyana
so i not rejoicing and celebrating nothing

50 years can be noted and we get on with the business of fixing this place like john magafulli is doing in tanzania
please dont invite me to no fete, jump up, bashment, bbq or lickdown relating to this thing
i could list hundreds of reasons why i am not celebrating anything but
you really want me to celebrate when the devils who killed courtney crum ewing are in your parliament shuckin and jiving?

and am not being rhetorical

i will not be suffocated by YOUR ignorance
