Fox News
According to Americans singled out by the New York Times, Independence Day is "controversial" and it's "not okay" to celebrate the holiday.
One of the interviewees, Malaya Tapp, posted a TikTok elaborating on her stance, doubling down on her argument that it’s "not okay" to celebrate the "controversial holiday." "The message from the left… really does rely on perpetual victimhood that then informs how they view every single thing that's happening in their lives."

"Use it to celebrate something else," Tapp said in the video. "I will probably go to a barbecue because those tend to be hosted by Black family or friends, and I see that as a time to come together and celebrate the fact that we are also still here despite America trying to get rid of us when they were trying to gain their independence."
