Cori Bush claims Black Americans aren't free
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On the Fourth of July, while Americans celebrate their independence, "Squad" member and Congresswoman Cori Bush
...a member of the progressive Squad. Born in St. Louis, Bush represents Missouri's 1st congressional district that includes all of the city of St. Louis and a large part of northern St. Louis County. Cori sez America is Racist AF...
 claimed on Twitter that black Americans are not free.

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people," wrote Bush.
She's new to the squad. To catch up, she's gotta say a LOT of stupid things in a short period of time
"This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free," she added.

While yes, the original Independence Day may not have freed black slaves back in 1776, the United States of America in 2021 is a country where Americans, regardless of color, are free to live their lives as they choose.

Black Americans, like Bush, are free to serve in the government. Former President Barrack Obama served as the commander-in-chief for eight years. 57 of the 435 House Representatives are black.

Her comment fails to take into consideration that if black people in America truly were not free, why would black people around the world immigrate to the Untied States?

According to the Migration Policy Institute, 10 percent of those who immigrated to the US in 2019 were black.

Twitter users were quick to point out these inconvenient facts to Bush.

Only in America could a wealthy black sitting congresswoman lack this much self awareness and be applauded for it.

#1  How would you feel if you were an exceptionally talented black person. People would not respect your superior IQ, they would say you were just an affirmative action charity case!

#2 Pretty sure the above mentioned Cori Bush doesn't have to worry about that.

#12 Cori, one of the many nice things about America is that you don't need an exit visa to emigrate. Unlike some countries, you are free to go to any country that will take you.

#14 Her talk is just an attempt to make her constituents feel angry so that they and the liberals will vote for her. Most of the politicians are in it for my money anyway.

#15 LBJ bought most of them and every Democrat policy since then try to keep them on the entitlement plantation. The tragedy of Obama has been that ace relations have devolved back towards mutual distrust and hate for many. Exactly where the CCP/Marxists want it, because we are severely fractured now.

#16 No they aren't, most are still slaves to the Democrats, you just can't see their collars anymore.

#17 The Human Project, or, Hope in the Calliope

"The problem, my friends, isn't residents,
But long-absent landlords and presidents:
Supremacist whites!
Your disfunction and fights?
These are simply historical resonance."

#18 Social Housing, or, Pardon Our Donkey Dust!

Who else would assist us so surely
Or ethnically cleanse us so purely?
Who'd build for our race
Such a wonderful place?
"Ja, und Vaterland nenn' es, natürlich!
