"What, to the #American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross #injustice and cruelly to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a #sham; your boasted #liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling #vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of #tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere #bombast, #fraud, #deception, #impiety, and #hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these #UnitedStates, at this very hour."

Post-punk? #NewWave? #Reggae? #Rap? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
