Have Your Self An Independence Day
AUDIO By Gotty™ on July 4, 2009 at 11:41 amComing from the Public Enemy era, the 4th Of July or any other similar holiday will probably never be more than a day off work for me. In fact, I feel compelled to post “Louder Than A Bomb” every 4th of July (the original > the remix). My perception was augmented once Flav said “picture us cooling out on the 4th of July/And if you thought we were celebrating, that’s a worldwide lie.” I won’t be flying a flag or anything of that nature. In fact, I’ll be chilling @ my parents house with some of my relatives who came in from Chicago & Cleveland. Being the Southerners that we are, it’s barbecuing today & a fish fry tomorrow haha.
While we’re never forget Black people’s history in this country, it’s important to keep truckin’ ahead. And on the flipside, I’ve also gained a level of understanding & thus respect for other aspects of America that should be honored on holidays like today, knowing that they should be recognized as well & not disrespected for their contributions. Respect due to those in the armed services and reserves for doing what so many of us choose not to do & take for granted.
It’s to those individuals that we present a Muppet rendition of “Stars & Stripes Forever.”

Thank you for echoing the same sentiments as me.

Eddie Murphy – The Cookout (4th of July) l0l
Considering myself and others are still considered “lesser” individuals by some “proud Americans” (just last night some white boy dropped the N-bomb on a female friend of mine and Thursday some dude in the bar was talking loud and reckless about “stupid spics need to learn English and stop taking jobs blah blah” he almost got KO’ed by my guy), I find it hard also to care for this holiday. Respect to those in the armed forces, but fuck the politicians. We still ain’t free. I’m straight as a girl with no booty but until my gay ass cousins can marry their partners and get all the same benefits we enjoy of marriage then this shit is still an illusion, and actually our freedom will always be an illusion.
Rant over. lol
I, too, am genetically predisposed to favoring chicken in all of its variations and methods of preparation.
lol
Thanksgiving is better anyway. At least folks don’t front about the real reason to celebrate THAT holiday: poultry, man. Poultry. I’m ALL ABOUT dead birds. lol
lmao @ Teef
I love it when Teef’s off or bored @ work. All I have to do is hand him the floor & kick my feet up.
haha….i love how the black people’s history is “404 not found”…hilarious
Cause I’m prouuud to beeeee an…a Peruviaaaaan…where I’m at, ain’t shit for free…Where the men who locked me up…Made me pay a bail plus fees…And I gladly stand up next to you…After making bond Bitch imouttahere todayyyyy…Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this Land…God Bless the USA…
Im bout to fire up the grill, throw some ribs on it and crack a heiney…it sure is hot as hell out here in Georgia….
“Considering myself and others are still considered “lesser” individuals by some “proud Americans””
Whats funny about that is most people probably consider those “proud Americans” lesser individuals.
Why is it so automatic that we gotta throw props to people in the armed services. That’s a bad decision.
Like Boots said,
“War ain’t about one land against the next
It’s po’ people dyin so the rich cash checks.”
