Juneteenth: Sorry, no deal

[theHawk]

We should always remember the lengths the democrat party went to to keep their black slaves

The Southern Democrats or Grant the Union general? Both of those had slaves.

Just remember this. Today it's 14 Republicans who voted against black people.

The House overwhelmingly passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on Wednesday by a vote of 415 to 14, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk and putting the nation on the cusp of establishing a federal holiday marking the end of slavery.

If signed by Biden, the day will be the first new national holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.

This is all good but what will this actually do? I already celebrated Juneteenth without the approval of whites. Its not going to reverse the affects of centuries of slavery or the decades of systemic racism Black people have endured in this country. Is it just another "starting point"? If so a starting point for what?

Now this is your Black Independence Day, when whites informed some negroes they were free. You don’t have to celebrate July 4th Independence Day as that is a white holiday now.

Isn’t segregated holidays what you all wanted?

Lol! The gaslighting begins. Bitch, we've been celebrating Juneteenth for years. With whites. So just fsace the truth, in fact let me hep you with a few words from a black republican:

“What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days of the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy - a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation of the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour.”

Tim Scott never would have had the courage to stand before a crowd of white republicans and say this.

Thanks for proving my point. Hate to break it to you, but you were never a slave, so stop pretending you ever were one.

We declared and fought for independence from Britain. We couldn’t free slaves because your friends, the Democrats, never would had joined the fight for independence. So that battle was fought just a generation later, fought by white men of course.

But the slaves loved it here in America, so they stayed. The embraced the superior culture of White America, as do their descendants who continue to choose to stay.

Being from the southwest we were taught about Juneteenth in high school.
Around 15 years ago I was working a contract job up in Boston.
I had several black guys on my crew and I knew that the next day was June 19, so I asked them if they were going to show up for work tomorrow?
They looked at me like I was crazy and asked why would I think that?
Come to find out, none of them have ever heard of Juneteenth, and they had no intention of missing work.

But now, a minor local event, has become this big deal national holiday and the taxpayer is on the hook to pay even more people to not work. ...

More evidence that Americans are woefully uninformed about its racist history.

Juneteenth just involved black slaves in Texas and the surrounding area.
It has been taught in the southwest high schools for decades.
The northern blacks could care less about this minor local event until recently. When they figured they could get a paid day off from work if they raised a ruckus about it. ...

The democratic party was formed long after the Revolutionary War. Blacks chose to stay here because we were born here and built this country. And you never fought in the Revolutionary War. So shut the fuck up.

I was in Moore, Ok in high school and they never did teach about Texass history there in Ok.

I dont celebrate the 4th of July. It would be like celebrating a pagan holiday. I dont care what white people celebrate. So no.... segregated holidays is not a thing to me at all.

Another white "expert" on black people trying to tell a black man about things he already knows.

So lets take this sorry ass argument apart. We celebrate the 4th of July in alll 50 states but there were only 13 that were freed from being british colonies. So another dumb ass is just running his mouth.

The Bunker Hill Monument marks the site of one of the first major battles of the American Revolution. A Battle in which inexperienced colonial forces fought against a highly trained army of British soldiers. Less well-known is the story of the significant role played by the more than 100 African American and Native American soldiers who took part in the battle. To examine the roles of these “patriots of color” in the Revolution is to discover the complexities of the revolutionary period as well as the diversity of its participants, their motivations, and their perspectives.

History has long been whitewashed by europeans desperately trying to convince the world they are great. The inferiority complex thing is bad with them.

Since black slaves were kidnapped and forcefully shipped here against their will under bondage, then why weren't they sent back to Africa after they were freed? Wouldn't that have been the compassionate thing to do? Why aren't modern day blacks clamoring to go back to Africa as soon as they can with all this talk of "systemic racism" and "white supremacy?" Why on earth would they want to stay here? They don't call themselves Americans, they call themselves African Americans, as though that's the country they love and identify with. So then, what's stopping them from going back?

Such is the racist right.
