At the heart of moonbattery is self-hatred projected onto your own kind. So you could hardly expect Unitarians in lefty Nantucket to celebrate their own remarkable country on its semiquincentennial.
Boston Herald reports:
A church on Nantucket says it won’t host its Fourth of July readings of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights as America celebrates its 250th anniversary because of “our own whiteness.”
Specifically, the Nantucket Unitarian Universalists are boycotting America’s birthday in protest against the Supreme Court nixing racial gerrymandering.
“We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Rev. Erin Splaine and the group’s board of trustees wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current news outlet on Thursday. …
“Our cancelling the 4th of July celebration this year reflects the deep concern we are feeling since the Supreme Court decision,” the letter continues, “as well as an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness and how we can be part of changing an inherently unfair system which has been in place for 250 years.”
At least they can still celebrate Juneteenth along with recently deposed John Cornyn.
