Das racisssssssssssssssssssssssssI think you’re probably right. Because the first politician who doesn’t show support for it’s going to be considered racist. And that doesn’t bode well for reelection.
Dang sure is!Das racisssssssssssssssssssssssss
No, but it's certainly not more either.Is it LESS important?
Now some of y’all are going to stretch things to think I support riots and mayhem, etc. or that I’m some kind of leftist. I don’t and I’m not. But I’m honest enough to acknowledge that our society is broken - in many many ways - and that we as a country HAVE undeniably disregarded most anything that is not white Anglo-Saxon Christian oriented. If we are to be a nation of “wretched refuse yearning to be free”, a melting pot, a society where merit matters more than pedigree...then we must be willing to allow all sections of society to feel welcome, included and wanted.
ust like slavery, and the end of it. None of us here participated in that.
We don’t have to agree on this.nobody reading this died in battle, so why celebrate Memorial Day?
If having “been there” is the requirement, we really wouldn’t have many BBQs and would get out of a lot more mandatory family get togethers.
My point is, everything has become BLM, and anything but, has become racist, and I for one am damn tired of it.
Because we got called out for having never heard of it. And it’s not like most of us don't read the news.Jesus, who would've thought a day celebrating the end of slavery in the USA would ruffle so many feathers? Don't like it? Don't celebrate it.
Sorry, I'm out of the loop, called out by whom?Because we got called out for having never heard of it. And it’s not like most of us don't read the news.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop, called out by whom?
I work with some of the most SJW MFers on NC. Some were bragging during meetings about having to take PTO because they were so exhausted from protesting. Nevertheless, I haven't had any quiz me on Juneteenth. I'm not following how this holiday (whether it's one people choose to celebrate or not) is getting people so upset. It's not celebrating a dictator's birthday; it's celebrating the end of slavery. Are people being forced to use PTO to take the day off? Did the Juneteenth parades block your daily commute?Yer on your own skipper.

You obviously misunderstand what is ruffling feathers.Jesus, who would've thought a day celebrating the end of slavery in the USA would ruffle so many feathers? Don't like it? Don't celebrate it.
Ironically, I think Trump informed more people about Juneteenth than anyone else could've.You obviously misunderstand what is ruffling feathers.
I had never heard of "Juneteenth" until the media started ballyhooing it as an excuse to try to stop a Trump rally.
Whoever wants to celebrate the anniversary of Texas getting word about the end of slavery can have at it with my blessing.
But don't expect me to meekly bow down and praise those who want to create a government sanctioned holiday to force their preferences on me.

These are good points.Never heard of it before today.
I dont hate it, it doesnt bother me, doesnt change my day at all.
But I do find it interesting to just now get national coverage after 150 years...
He was challenged for having scheduled a rally on that date.Ironically, I think Trump informed more people about Juneteenth than anyone else could've.
Even further south! Columbia, SC.He was challenged for having scheduled a rally on that date.
I’ve had just enough scotch. Where are you from? It ain't from Holly Springs.
How do you think an intelligent, sane black person feels when they see all of this fake assed, virtue signaling nonsense?
I guess there wasn’t room in the budget for Bagels, Lox & Cream Cheese.

For those arguing the “date” and dismissing things because June 19th really isn’t “the day”....
Y’all know Christ wasn’t actually born Dec 25th right? That date was co-opted by the early Church to counter some popular pagan rituals.
July 4th doesn’t count because those damned colonists were just rebels and traitors to their rightful government. Why not celebrate when they actually WON their independence? Stupid idea, celebrating the 4th.
We could go on and on pointing out how arbitrary any specific date is for a remembrance.
The worth of Christmas and Independence Day are in the meaning and values they represent, not the date on the calendar.
Arguing against commemorating the end of slavery is a special kind of ignorant. The fact that it’s taken our nation 155 years to make it “mainstream” is pretty much spot on example of institutional racism.

Yep. White folks did that. The same white folks that tell me I need to check my privilege even though I get my sore ass up and go to work every day.I see a lot of white people hanging a statue
Them. Asians. Latinos.Why does no one ever talk about Native Americans getting a national holiday, or designated month in their honor?
