Shortly after the dedication (of the Statue of Liberty), the Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper, suggested that the statue's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation "in reality":
"'Liberty enlightening the world,' indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the 'liberty' of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country 'enlightening the world,' or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme"
Quote:
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.
Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.

Hey , I came here to quote Fredrick Douglas!!! That speech really pissed me off when I read it; I was mostly pissed at myself!!!
What constitutes independence doesn't matter to me though. Not today. Today, I will ignite gun powder, even if illegal. I will confidently display pride and nationalism for it does not matter the motivations from which I will RAGE. Why should it be important for a citizen to not only know but understand critically the implications of the AMERICAN ideal. Today, I will endanger myself and those around me because I can. I have the choice to not be held responsible for my actions.
I'm AMERICAN. I have the right to blindly follow and proudly lead my fellows into destruction. For it is for the pursuit of whatever's in reach.

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. Oh! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation's ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be denounced.

Fireworks, like medical marijuana, is legal in Michigan. Makes for a good 4th of July.
