It’s America’s birthday, which means legions of patriots will douse their hot dogs in relish, drape American flags upon their shoulders, and throw back six-packs of Bud Light Thursday in the name of our founding fathers. Will they also reckon with our nation’s sordid history of the whiteness, colonization, and oppression that are all but baked into the occasion? Probably not, no! That would ruin the fun.
Speaking of fun, hopefully you’re already clocked out of work...
