So? His forefathers were and that's his FAMILY.
Perhaps in your family you're only concerned with your immediate family but in many other cultures we're taught all about those who came before us and put us in the position we're in..I even know the name and occupation of my Great, Great Grandfather.

it saddens me to see others trash it
If you want to rail on who is trashing the country... try focusing on the CONGRESS.... not some irrelevant entertainer?
I never said America OWE him anything, do you have trouble reading or you have no rebuttal to my statement and feel the need to move the discussion in a new direction?

SO you're telling me that you're entitled to complain about something that happened to your family 150 years ago? C'mon man.

Why shouldn't he be allowed to make such a statement?
It WAS just a day of independence for white Amerikkka while his fore-fathers were in chains...
Have you ever considered the scope of packing up and leaving behind family, friends, familiarity etc.? For good?
What are your thoughts on white Americans who also hold no value in the day and see it as a disgrace?
Anyways ATS is mostly right wing and there are a million threads trashing America revolving around the fourth of July. Guess it only hurts you when leftists do it.
Agreed

Bloody oath!!! Personally, my fore-fathers were convicted of stealing bread to feed a starving family in England and sent out here (Australia) as slave workers to construct the newest outpost of the empire! That's on my fathers side.
On Mum's side they were displaced as recently as WW2...no slavery involved...just a Western War that need not affect the tiny island.
This has resulted in me being born in Australia...it leaves a sense of loss of identity and confusion/disconnection as to original roots.
Their blood runs through my veins so it certainly entitles me to complain about it.
You jar heads need a brain donation.

Have you ever considered the disrespect in making comments like that on a national holiday meant for celebrating all that’s good in America?

It has nothing to do with race. I feel the same about any America who feels such distain for this country; don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
