Spurs rookie Lonnie Walker: ‘Will never celebrate 4th of July. Know your history’

The Spurs' newest member, Lonnie Walker IV, is under fire for his less-than-patriotic tweet on July 4.
Rather than the standard "Happy 4th of July!" tweet, complete with the fireworks emoji, Walker went a very different route. In a now-deleted tweet, Walker said, "Will never celebrate 4th of July. Know your history!! and stay woke."
Naturally, social-media users and basketball experts alike had plenty of reactions, with many calling the tweet controversial

Someone posted a pic on instagram of a black guy wiping his arse with the American flag and the caption: Happy Independence Day! Oh wait, I'm black....never mind.

Understand, that for black people. There was no independence on July 4, 1776. We were still enslaved.
I have no problem celebrating the 4th. But I also understand that at the time, I wouldn't have been doing any celebrating.

He is going to really enjoy the Baltic league next year or perhaps he will sign with the Russian league.

African tribes targeted Africans who were NOT woke and forced them onto slave ships.
If Lonnie Walker IV ancestors were all woke he would be in Africa right now and not the NBA.

If Lonnie’s fricking nonsense wasn’t posted here I would’ve never known about it.

regardless of the validity of the reason for having issues with the history of the country and the wrongs that were done if i could not find a way to celebrate what is right about it i truly believe i would leave, go somewhere you could be proud.

This young man is apparently still upset about the surrender of Vicksburg. Many modern folks with ties to that town also refuse to celebrate the 4th.

Kinda weird seeing he's about to cash in on being a professional basketball player. Which is one of the most American things I can think of.

Know your history?
Yes, I'm sure every nation in Africa is full of altruistic, caring, and giving historical events. There definitely aren't any genocides or slave holding groups in the history of Africa. Moron.
