“Let’s make sure that slavery is always an issue and we never move forward”, is what this says. They made slavery victimhood an official holiday. Nothing bad will come of this…

It's a good history lesson. He gets into why the whole concept of 'Juneteenth' is stupid outside of Texas and even if you agree with the premise of having a holiday to celebrate the end of slavery there are other days that make much more sense.

December 6th, the day the 13th amendment was ratified and the day the last slaves from non-confederate states were freed (because the emancipation proclamation only applied to the confederate states). Or April 9th the day that the south surrendered. Both could be used as a celebration of the same thing and have actual historical significance for the nation as a whole, instead of some random day no one outside of Texas has ever even heard of prior to last year.
I call it "Celebration". It's sexual, and violent...

Or, let's made a holiday remembering the 2nd most impactful moment in the nation's history.

You need to do quite a few mental gymnastics to get upset over this holiday.

“how do we stop the cuck take over”

“Dr Seuss banned honk honk”

The conservative “party” in this country has been reduced to nothing other than opposing the liberals. That’s it. Conservatives bragged about republicans ending slavery, but then when democrats make it a holiday all of a sudden they’re against.

If trump made this a holiday the posts would be “why couldn’t racist libs acknowledge the end of the slavery like conservatives can”

But because it was Biden the posts are “this is a stupid holiday.” You’re nothing but emotional knee jerk reactions at this point
Well said

There has never been a time since it’s creation that the democrat party wasn’t comprised of the most racist people on the face of the planet. To say otherwise is nothing more than lying for the very sake of lying.

Democrats exploit the corruption they created through their racist and socialist policies in return for power (votes). They corrupted through materialism and overreach. That’s why we are in this mess in the first place. Previous to the 1960s, very few blacks voted for Democrats because they knew they exploited blacks and were the party of slavery. Once they started giving them material things and wealth, they now get 85% of the black votes. Democrats just learned a new way to enslave the weak and vulnerable, Which is what every post modernist dictator does to get into power

If our forefathers knew this was happening, I guarantee you they would be a war today

No hyperbole needed. That is truth.

Explain 40% of the democratic vote coming from whites people then.

This is all a game they’re playing.

People don't vote Dem for material things, they vote Dem because too many on the Right show utter contempt for them(started with Nixon's southern strategy). I voted Trump, and even still shake my head at the things coming out of the mouth of many on the Right.

The response to the Juneteenth holiday is a perfect example

Look at the demographics for whites with a degree and without. Since you're playing "Whataboutism", I'll let you do the rest of the work.

Did I say people? Make sure you understand my argument before replying.

So you're saying people vote dem out of resentment for another group? Hmmm, that sounds immoral.

Yet among white voters with college educations, there were notable shifts in Biden’s direction. White male college graduates reduced their support for Trump from 14% to 3%. At the same time, white female college graduates boosted their Democratic support from 7% to 9% nationally. Moreover, in key battleground states, white female college graduates generally registered greater support for Biden in 2020 than they did for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

You come off like some snobbish elite who thinks only educated people vote Republican while the uneducated, poor, and vulnerable vote Democrat. It simply isn’t true.

Nowhere did I say people vote out of resentment. The people who vote Dem largely do so because they're the only party that even reaches out to them. And many on the Right are downright hostile to them and their causes.

So long as July 4th is still revered as a national holiday and Whites celebrate "Juneteenth" then this shouldn't happen - at the worst you'll just get Black people who didn't celebrate July 4thstillnot celebrating it, so there won't be much difference.

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.
