At any rate, if I understand the OP link, Dyson is saying how Blacks can be patriotic or not. Or rather why should they be? I mean you can drive up in to the most gang infested hoods and you might be hard pressed to find too many folks flying the US flag... They just don't fly flags in the hood, G... However, in SOME neighborhoods, like where I grew up, you would probably find flag waving Black folks because they actually do serve, high up in the military... But that is the ONLY location I have actively seen Black folks flying anything other than a "bird"...
Should I, someone who says they are Black, LOVE all that America is and of and show my patriotism now? I have experienced racism at the hands of the government directly, so it is hard for me to be patriotic and proud of my country when I have been treated unfairly. But, I have had opportunities that would not have happened if I lived anywhere else. So basically, I view July 4th as a nice BBQ/Fireworks holiday spending all my dead presidents on with my family, et al.
