GREAT MOMENTS IN ELITE LEFTIST SELF-LOATHING: Nantucket church cancels Fourth of July celebration in ‘political protest’ because of its ‘own whiteness.’
A liberal church on swanky vacation island Nantucket nixed its Fourth of July readings for the first time in 25 years in “political protest” over the Supreme Court’s voting rights ruling — and its congregants’ “whiteness.”
The Nantucket Unitarian Universalists has read the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights inside its church every Fourth of July for the last 25 years.
This year, the church’s board of trustees and presiding Rev. Erin Splaine published a letter announcing the cancelation of the readings just one month before America’s 250th birthday.
The church blamed the revision on the Supreme Court’s “gutting” of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and “an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness,” according to the letter.
The self-proclaimed “liberal and free faith” leaders claimed that white people know the rights laid out in the America’s foundational texts “have, for centuries, been tragically, often violently, and unequally applied” against non-white citizens.
On the other hand, “These are the same documents that ended slavery and spread freedom around the world. Canceling them over identity politics isn’t courageous, it’s absurd:”
A Nantucket church just canceled its 25-year tradition of reading the Declaration of Independence on July 4th.
Why? The founding documents are too “white” and the Supreme Court supposedly gutted the Voting Rights Act.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Elite leftists should loathe themselves, but they can leave the rest of us out of it.
