Hollow Mockery: Douglass, Jefferson, and 250 Years of a Promise Unkept

Mike Cone

“Your 4th of July is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license . . . your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery.”
— Frederick Douglass (1852)

These words still resonate today.

In the wake of our celebration of the 250th birthday of our independence, let us not forget the ugly truths in the birth and history of this nation. To wash over these truths, as our current administration is wont to do, is tantamount to erasing that part of our past which we should strive to learn from, and to better ourselves as a people, to truly become that nation where the words penned by Thomas Jefferson are not just hollow mockery, but true:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These are the unalienable rights bestowed upon us. These rights are not to be infringed upon for any reason, whether it be race, color, ethnicity, religious beliefs or social status. For this to be true, we as a people need to understand and accept that indeed “ALL” men are created equal. In this regard, we have failed as a nation time and time again. There are numerous examples of our nation suppressing the civil liberties of the many throughout our history: chattel slavery, the Tulsa Race Massacre, forced dispossession of ancestral Native American lands, Selma, Alabama, Jim Crow laws, the Alien and Sedition Acts, Japanese internment, Kent State, the Patriot Act, just to name a few. Hell, even Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War.

My point in all this is we need to do better. It is morally important that we learn from our past and not ignore or erase it just because at times it can be ugly and messy. We need to continue to move forward, toward morality and virtue, because virtue will always prevail.

Our current president is unwilling in this regard. 

President Trump is the converse of morality and virtue and continually seems to move us backward with his version of revisionist history, distorting, altering and even falsifying historical evidence to fit his agenda. He is forever suppressing or attempting to suppress the civil liberties of those who oppose him. He has actively supported and empowered local governments to ban and remove books from public institutions. He has removed or altered exhibits, plaques and monuments from our National Parks, exhibits he terms “inappropriately disparaging to Americans past or living.” These exhibits include the nation’s first executive mansion, which detailed the nine people enslaved by George Washington; the Bunker Hill Monument, to eliminate language he deemed contrary to founding principles; and locations highlighting Japanese American internment and Native American conflicts. He has sent federal troops into our cities in direct defiance of the Posse Comitatus Act. He has allowed his defense secretary, who some call a Christian White Nationalist, to deny high-ranking promotions to senior Army and Navy officers, the majority being women and minorities, and to intervene in a Navy one-star admiral promotion list, removing nine highly vetted officers. The final list of 22 nominees contained zero women and only two non-white officers. Finally, his immigration policies appear to be an obvious attempt to rid the country of Black and Brown people. This is just a small sample of Trump’s penchant for authoritarianism and what this author feels is a deep hatred and disdain for anyone other than his own race. Donald Trump is the ideological antithesis to the phrase “all men are created equal.”

With that said, I was having a conversation with my good friend Nick Allison, an Army combat veteran and fellow Chaos Section contributor, the other day and mentioned my feelings of anger and visceral disgust for our current administration, so much so that I could not find a reason to celebrate our 250 years of independence, particularly as a veteran. I’ll end with Nick’s response:

“You know what? I think we can always find a reason to celebrate, regardless of the current occupant in the Oval Office, because there are always things and ideas and people worth celebrating. This is still a great country with great people and a wonderfully unique experiment in constitutional representative freedom. It gets messy and sometimes runs off the rails, but that’s kind of the whole point of the experiment: we’re a nation of people governing ourselves, which means it’s on us to correct course when things go sideways. Most of human history has been kings, monarchs and strongmen who never had to answer to anybody. Making it 250 years as a self-correcting experiment, messy and beautiful and stupid and wonderful all at once, is reason enough to celebrate. Don’t let one egotistical, narcissistic old man who will be out of office in a couple years, dead within ten, take that away from you.”

Mike Cone is a Marine Corps infantry veteran who served as a mortarman and forward observer in Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines. “Hollow Mockery” is his first piece for The Chaos Section. He lives on Long Island with his wife Cynthia.

A quotation from Frederick Douglass

I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. — The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine.

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New York

The Irony Of Independence Day

https://islandinthenet.com/independence-day-2026/

📖 Independence Day Read: Common Sense by Thomas Paine

The 1776 pamphlet that ignited a revolution. Thomas Paine's bold, plainspoken argument for American independence galvanized the colonies and changed the course of history. One of the most influential political works ever written.

A BetTER Day

Independence has its day,
when o’er the skies fireworks display,
and dependence, too, is good,
as every tender spirit should

learn the grace of being held,
when pride is hushed, and fear is quelled.
But methinks we need another name,
a deeper word, a wider frame.

It happens after we let one IN,
past the surface, past the skin,
past the guarded gates we keep,
past the places where hurt runs deep.

In the space before DEPEND,
we see the other as vital friend,
all as branches from one tree,
as the grains of sand receive the sea.

Then add three letters, soft but true,
TER arrives and makes it new.
Not just me and not just thee,
but something born between the three.

In-TER-dependence names the art
of hand in hand and heart to heart,
while I am I, and you are you,
something sacred binds us too.

Independence stands alone,
dependence leans on flesh and bone,
but interdependence humbly sings:
we rise by sharing roots and wings.

A quotation from Frederick Douglass

The 4th of July is the first great fact in your nation’s history — the very ring-bolt in the chain of your yet undeveloped destiny. Pride and patriotism, not less than gratitude, prompt you to celebrate and to hold it in perpetual remembrance. I have said that the Declaration of Independence is the ring-bolt to the chain of your nation’s destiny; so, indeed, I regard it. The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost.

Today is Iceland National Day 🙂

On this day in 1944, Iceland formally transitioned to a republic after 96% of the population voted in favor of adopting a new constitution and to end centuries-old ties with Denmark. The holiday also commemorates the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson, a leader of the 19th-century Icelandic independence movement.

@JMarkOckerbloom Is there not a great irony in the Declaration of declaring Independence from absolute tyranny? Certainly doublespeak for a Prime Directive, to not interfere and not deny the rights of other Nations, but doing exactly that! #TreasonousTrump #IndependenceDay #MobRule #EcocideEmpires #OligarchsCults #CelebrityDeathCults #MobTerror #TransactionalRacketeering #DemocraticFreedom #SavageEmpires #CivilRights

Since I can remember, Israel's Independence Day has always been a bittersweet occasion. We celebrate with joy and pride, yet our hearts ache with the memories of the sacrifices made.

This year, more than any other, has been the hardest I have ever known.

The resilience of the Israeli spirit is forged in the crucible of adversity. Each year, as we wave our flags and sing our songs, we also remember those who are not with us, the price we have paid, and the tears we have shed.

Today, we celebrate our independence. We honor the legacy of those who fought for our right to exist and those who continue to defend it.

We recognize that our freedom comes at the heaviest cost, but it also comes with a profound sense of unity and determination.

This year, our hearts may be too heavy to rejoice, but our spirit is unbreakable.

Happy Independence Day, Israel. Here's to many more years of resilience, growth, and unyielding hope.

This year, our hearts may be too heavy to rejoice, but our spirit is unbreakable.

Happy Independence Day, Israel. Here's to many more years of resilience, growth, and unyielding hope.

Since I can remember, Israel's Independence Day has always been a bittersweet occasion. We celebrate with joy and pride, yet our hearts ache with the memories of the sacrifices made.

This year, more than any other, has been the hardest I have ever known.

The resilience of the Israeli spirit is forged in the crucible of adversity. Each year, as we wave our flags and sing our songs, we also remember those who are not with us, the price we have paid, and the tears we have shed.

Today, we celebrate our independence. We honor the legacy of those who fought for our right to exist and those who continue to defend it.

We recognize that our freedom comes at the heaviest cost, but it also comes with a profound sense of unity and determination.

This year, our hearts may be too heavy to rejoice, but our spirit is unbreakable.

Happy Independence Day, Israel. Here's to many more years of resilience, growth, and unyielding hope.

@fawfulfan With their attacks on the Reconstruction Amendments, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, Leonard Leo's SCOTUS agents are doing the Confederacy's bidding, continuing, where Jan 6 ended.
They don't deserve to be on SCOTUS's bench.

Roe v. Wade (abortion rights): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Griswold v. Connecticut (birth control): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Loving v. Virginia (freedom to marry, regardless of race): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Lawrence v. Texas (intercourse between same-sex,partners): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

and more...

Happy 125th Independence from Spain my beloved Nation, the Philippines!

(Which ironically, we're still using the name they gave us.)

For today's independence post, let's talk a bit about General Pío del Pilar.

The attached image is the KKK (Katipunan) flag used by General Pío del Pilar, the namesake of barangay Pio del Pilar, #Makati City.

His flag was called “Bandila ng Matagumpay” (en: “Flag of the Triumphants”) and was first used on July 11, 1895. (And his KKK faction was called “Matagumpay” (en: “Triumphants”)

Pío del Pilar was a force to reckoned with. He liberated , defended, and participated in many battles against the Spaniards. Some of these places we know today as Mandaluyong City, Las Piñas City, the Municipality of Pateros, Taguig, the province of Nueva Ecija, parts of Cavite province, and Calamba City (in the province of Laguna), to mention a few. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ADo_del_Pilar )

Fun facts:
* General Pío del Pilar was born in Barrio Culi-culi, San Pedro de Macati.

* Barrio Culi-culi is today's barangays Pio del Pilar and Bangkal.

* While San Pedro de Macati is now Makati City.

* His father was a farmer from Pasay City (one of the oldest cities in the country, and itself was a “kingdom” in pre-colonial times, named after Dayang-dayang (princess) Pasay, daughter of Rajah Sulayman of the “kingdom” of Maynila).

* And his mother was an embroider from Mandaluyong City.

This is a pretty spectacular view of the #IAF flyovers for Israel's #IndependenceDay yesterday. We watched some of this from our city although we didn't see quite the detail you can see here.
