So ... Do Black People "Heart" America Now? (Fourth of July)

The first person to die during the Boston Massacre was a black man, Crispus Attucks. I honesly don't know why homie was there. Was he throwing a block of wood or relaxing, leaning on a stick? Either way. He was the first to take two to the chest and go down for the emancipation of colonies from the British.

Despite being lauded as a symbol of the American Revolution and abolitionist movement, I'd argue that most black people didn't get too wistful on the Fourth of July until right ... about ... now.

What a difference a black president makes.

More after the jump.
