Celebrating this country's independence is presented on July 4th. Americans which is a melting pot of all kinds of people wave the American flag, some drink too much alcohol, others eat way to much barbeque and while others treat it as any other day. Celebration of this holiday varies just as our personalities adjust. The independence we have as blacks today and everyday has much to do with how we are progressing. Progressing in education, money matters, spiritual wealth and living out better healther life-styles. We still deal with black on black crime and we struggle with decision making. Just as so many black youths who do not know ; or understand what they want to become in life. Their independence is misleading them in slothful progress. I'm not an expert in anything, but I can tell that many blacks simply give up the opportunities of progress. Fighting within themselves because they may fear opportunities, because they are lazy and give up working on achievements and simply because they want to rely on somebody to give them things free. Being free in America is still tough on many blacks. The reason I say this is because it's so easy to find reasons to fail. There was a time when failure was not an option. Has that changed? Too many blacks are accepting failure and they feel only hopeless doors closing in on them. I can't speak for all blacks, and I not. I'm not making judgements either. We have independence for blacks readily available and we settle so quickly to take the lower case of living blaming it on conditions that surround us when we are not binded. The fence is open we have independence to pursue it's success right here today and everyday. We have to learn to WORK again and not free-load. We have to learn to take care of each other and not DESTROY what we already have. We have to discover INDEPENDENCE and not dependance. We have to survive together. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Hello Ms. Shields, I believe I understand your mindset, so I know how you see Black Americans situation. To begin with, you mistakenly believe that Black Americans are independent, but that is not true. White Americans are independent, and the immigrants that are here, enjoys the independence of White America. Since Black Americans, cannot be categorized as immigrants, and that only White Americans are independent, then Black Americans, must be subjugated people. Now, until we become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we can call our very own country, with borders to truly celebrate our own independence, we shall always remain White America is people as it was in the days of slavery. White Americans and Black Americans jointly own this continent, but of course, Black Americans owns a small portion, which we will imminently inherit from our ancestors’ labor and punitive damages. I know that you do not understand what I am saying and that is because you as well as most Black Americans are wrapped up in White Americans independence, believing that you are independent as well. See, White Americans fought for their independence from King George of England. However, Black Americans has confronted any one for our complete independence or sovereignty. At least, Prophet Moses confronted Pharaoh for the Israelites’ independence, and we know that God was supporting Prophet Moses. Could this same scenario play out with Black Americans as well? Subliminally speaking, you know that we are not independent, since you cover up our ignorance to believe that we are independent when you say things like,” Being free in America is still tough on many blacks.” Consequentially, you need to sit down and think through what I have just said and contrast what you wish to believe and decide what is what, because right now, you are somewhat confuse. God have inspired me to know that our only permanent solution is to desire to become a sovereign people, which will truly make us independent people. Are you not tired of fooling yourself? What say you?

Thank you Harry: I believe that you are inspired by God. You have apparently received a understanding from him that many are in blind-sited. I have of course no discourse that you have a mission to disclose. In order however, for us as blacks to become independent you must agree it will still take a course of work. No workers, no work will be done. No togetherness and no leadership and this leaves us still in places where we are now. If we are confused it is because we are not using present courses to clear our thinking. If we are to be ones of independence in a nation of people we have to begin within having a foundation to follow. A solid foundation. If we are to become a people of independance I think you will agree we will have to put forth an effort to work at it. Being free is still tough in America, but I did also say we are not bound. I am not confused at all but I bear witness to truth. To become a sovereign people we will have to have God as our solid foundation. He grants us the independence that we are free through him. If we are to become great people we have to become people of unity. Unity where we work together inspired by God and working together so that he will bring to pass. I know there is independence in this way. What you are saying has merit but is futile if is presented to people who will not listen, work or even try. This is what I say. Independence is free from dependency.
