We regret to inform you that Joy Reid is weighing in on the Fourth of July, and it\u2019s exactly what you think.<\/p>\n

The 250th anniversary of America\u2019s independence is rapidly approaching and while most people are gearing up to celebrate, there\u2019s always one wet blanket who has to ruin the good vibes. Reid hopped online to declare that this year\u2019s festivities will not feature her or her black friends, making sure to throw in that she believes it\u2019s a \u201cslaveholder\u201d celebration anyway.<\/p>\n

Joy Reid: \u201cNobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many ways, and with apologies to my spicy white friends, because I know that my white brothers and sisters do love a Fourth of July. It is Independence Day, everybody\u2019s barbecueing, it\u2019s a thing,\u201d she said. \u201cI can promise you, black folks, we will take that day off. We will barbecue because we off. But black people-\u00a0 Nobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July, because it is exactly what Frederick Douglass said it is, it is the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire. And that is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t all:<\/p>\n

\n

Joy Reid: Juneteenth is the \u201creal\u201d Independence Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuneteenth to me is the real thing that the 4th of July is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loathes the country. Absolutely loathes it. https:\/\/t.co\/NL86Pm8H3i<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wyfGyXl8CC<\/a><\/p>\n

X users had a lot to say about Reid\u2019s take:<\/p>\n

\n

That\u2019s because Joy Reid probably loves in an echo chamber bubble of far left radicals who hate America.<\/p>\n

This is why Joy got kicked off the Television. She\u2019s absolutely pathetic!
\nI bet most of the negative comments from this post are Not the \u201cspicy white\u201d folks!<\/p>\n

Anyone who isn\u2019t excited about July 4th should leave. Go find a country you can love.<\/p>\n

Dang her circle must be tiny. I can see why. People tend to avoid those with a toxic narcissistic personality disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

If Joy Reid and her followers stay home July 4th the holiday will be safer and more fun for everyone else.<\/p>\n

Fact<\/p>\n
