Black folk, might be time for us to give a statue to the camera phone. Done as much for fighting racism as MLK, Malcom & Farrakhan combined. At minimum, the camera phone need its own holiday.
And if wanna invite somebody to that fcking "cookout" you won't stop talking about, let it be Philippe Kahn. Inventor of the camera phone. Dude just needed a way to capture the birth of his daughter on a phone, now his invention out here showing the truth about this country.
Also, the camera phone was invented on June 11th, 1997. 'Camera Phone Day' would line up perfectly next to Juneteenth.
