Americans (USA): Who else is NOT celebrating the Fourth of July?

How can anyone celebrate Independence when We'd all have more rights in the UK?

I'm starting to think the people who celebrate Independence Day are people who celebrate taking away rights and want the sky to open up and rain guns. And want their own Republican Taliban in place.

I'm going to a pub and eating British food this year. I may still watch fireworks...but only because I like fireworks.

As the descendant of slaves who were still slaves on July 5 of that year, I never really celebrate it as more than an excuse to spend time with loved ones, barbecuing.
This year there are no plans to even do that. A few of us talked about having something of a wake, with everyone wearing black.
