Miley Cyrus joined Colin Kaepernick in trashing America on the Fourth of July in a series of social media posts.
“This was in 2017,” Cyrus wrote on Instagram, where she posted her introduction to an old performance: “Feels EVEN MORE relevant right NOW. It ain’t a Party In The USA until we see #LibertyandJusticeFORALL you heard me, FOR ALL! #fuckthefourthuntilthereisfreedom.”
In the clip she filmed in 2017 she said: “It’s not a party in the USA if we don’t have equality, unity, justice, compassion, kindness, opportunity, healthcare, education, non-violence. So, f— yeah, it will be a party in the USA. We’ll see it. If we all f—ing come together, we’ll f—ing make sure that it is, ’cause I’m not giving up. We can’t stop, all right?”
Colin trashed Independence Day and America itself late last night in a scandalous rant:
“Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of ‘independence’, while you enslaved our ancestors,” he wrote.
”We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all,” he added.
From The Hill:
Former NFL star and activist Colin Kaepernick marked July Fourth by sharing a video of actor James Earl Jones reciting Frederick Douglass’s historic speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” with Kaepernick calling the holiday a “celebration of white supremacy.”
The video shows images of the Declaration of Independence, slaves, Klu Klux Klan members, lynchings and police brutality as Jones’s voice narrates in the background:
“Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day?
What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?”
Kaepernick captioned the video with a strong condemnation of racism and a call for “liberation for all” in the future.
“Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of ‘independence’, while you enslaved our ancestors,” he wrote.
“We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all.”
