MS NOW’s Ali Velshi, during a recent segment, gave an insane take on America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, insinuating that Americans should have “conflicting feelings” about celebrating the Fourth of July this year because of slavery.
Velshi, a Kenyan-born Canadian citizen who just got his US citizenship in 2015, felt the need to lecture Americans about “racial dynamics” and attack our history.
“Anniversaries are imperfect records of the thing which is being celebrated,” the America-hating foreigner.
“In America’s case, anniversaries often gloss over the racial dynamics underlying much of America’s history and politics, issues that remain unsolved because America has never actually fully reckoned with its racist past and its original founding sin of slavery.”
Velshi went on to tell viewers of the failing news network that he feels “deep unease” celebrating “our so-called democracy,” because of… “unresolved racial politics.”
“omen and black Americans have seen their rights taken away. The Voting Rights Act has effectively been gutted. A number of states are continuing to gerrymander their congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections, with the explicit effect of taking away political power on black Americans,” he continued.
“If you’ve got conflicting feelings about America’s upcoming anniversary, like you want to celebrate the ideals that America strives for, which are noble and should be celebrated, but lament the state of the country, you’re not alone. At least I’m with you on this.”
