The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.
As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”
The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.
Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

Financial Support to the Bearsite
The people who found my cat (missing since fucking January) once again threatened to give him away to someone else, something they have absolutely no right to do.
I am basically between a rock and a hard place, RE: getting him back (his name is Johnathon, lol). Like a month ago they managed to crate him and take him to the vet, but because my phone number on file with the Humane Society was kaput, and I fucking guess because they have other cats, they released him. Then after making it sound like I was going to get him back, after getting into it with them a little bit at first (this was the first time they threatened to give him away), they tell me they're having a hard time getting him crated again. Then they basically just go "you're on your own buddy" and stopped trying to help me. Then, when I'm floundering trying to figure out how to get him back, they text me all urgently about how they need to find a safe home for him because he's been getting into fights with the neighbor cats (again, he's been there for 6 months before they found him) and act like I've given up just because I wasn't able to get their texts because I couldn't find my phone. I fucking told them where I could be found. They knew I had issues with my phone and maintaining connectivity. I talked to one of them a few days ago and he said nothing about ANY OF THIS.
And they think they have any right to do this. They can't get him. I can't get him. They're not "finding a safe home" for him. They're letting a stranger try and trap my cat. I am so fucking angry about this. They are NOT GIVING MY CAT AWAY. They are fucking NOT. If they did that, they really fucked up. They really fucked up.
