Law Juneteenth is now a National and Federal Holiday!!!!

[Rational Poster]

This is a woke myth that's easily discredited by some fact checking. They didn't "milk two extra years of labor."

The emancipation proclamation was signed into law in 1863, in the middle of the civil war. Texas was still under full control of the confederacy at this time and obviously didn't recognize any authority of the federal government.

Union soldiers still had to go into the south and physically make the emancipation proclamation a reality.

This is an anti historical take.

Reality is they were freed in 1863 and in the south, especially in frontier areas of Texas, this proclamation was intentionally withheld from the slaves.

So while it's true they weren't actually freed they also didn't know they are legally free for over two years.

And even still, if you want to take this narrow view, the war ended April 9th 1865. April is a few months before June isn't it? At the very least the Texans continued to deliberately not tell the slaves about emancipation for several months after the war until Union troops informed them.

If you think the powers that be did this for any other reason than to pander, you are the clown. You know Biden is on record being a racist...You know his son drops N bombs like Lil Wayne. You know Biden accused people of not being black enough if they didnt vote for him... He didnt want his kids going to school in a racial "JUNGLE" hmmm who was he referring to? Asians? lmao...so gullible
BTW Im all for it.

All of our leaders are power hungry sociopaths and millionaires who don't share ordinary people's interests. But when one of them says that they are for the people, even when they aren't one of the people, that's a great thing. It is the best we can expect. I know plenty of people who are looking forward to June 19th because it will be a fun holiday. I'll be drinking White Claw and talking woke around my Black friends.

People be like, "I hate when they pander and wish they would only serve patriarchal billionaire interests," and I don't get it. Let them do a populist thing now and again.

LOL @ Juneteenth. What a retarded name for a retarded so-called holiday.

 

[RemyR]

I'm a righty and I never understood the criticism of "Juneteenth". It marks a pretty significant event in American history. This might be uncomfortable for some to hear but black history in America is also American history in general. No idea why someone would be opposed to this.

Also you guys got to please stop bumping Queen B's threads. My stomach churns whenever I see that name in my screen.
