Are Blacks Less Patriotic Than Others?

I don't think so, nor do I believe we as a group love America less than others. I love America, and make no apology for doing so. I enjoy her freedoms, especially in being free to worship the true and living God when and how I won't to.   I believe the United States is the greatest country on the face of the earth in terms of God’s blessing upon it.
Growing up as a  kid the 4th of July and Christmas were two of  my favorite holidays.  I loved the 4th of July because it was a summer holiday, and the whole  neighborhood  would be outside barbecuing and having fun. Today I still have a  love for the 4th of July but  with a better understanding of what it is that I love about it. Now Dr. Boyce Watkins has a post up stating "Why Black People Have Little Right or Reason to Celebrate Independence Day"  What do you think?
