as posted by the channelHappy Fourth of July - What They Never Taught Me About America
Hawk shares a raw and eye-opening reflection on how TikTok reshaped his understanding of American history—and why the Fourth of July no longer feels the same. After joining TikTok in 2021, Hawk began following creators from communities he never encountered growing up, especially Black women and Native American voices, and what he learned forever altered his view of the country he once thought he knew.
From the brutal realities of slavery and Jim Crow to the erased stories of First Nations people, Hawk candidly unpacks the myths taught in school versus the history revealed through modern voices on social media. He dives into the legacy of Susan B. Anthony, the genocide of Native Americans, and the horrific truths about America's founding fathers—details absent from his rural Ohio education.
This isn't a rant—it’s a reckoning. Hawk challenges viewers to listen, not argue; to sit with discomfort, not deflect it. Whether you’re patriotic, skeptical, or just curious, this conversation offers a lens you won’t find in most textbooks.
If you've ever questioned what it truly means to celebrate Independence Day in the United States, this is one to watch.
