Cherlisa. My wife is from Ft. Worth, but worked for Post Office in East Texas for a few years.
She said,” I swear. They throw a spoon out the back door, and what ever sound it makes that’s what they name their kids.”

Oh good God.

I want people to FORGET the ignorantly named “Juneteenth”, just like I want them to forget that damned illegal-conditioning “Cinco de Mayo”.

Both are local yokel dates, and meant to further beat America and whites over the head about how terrible we are.

Screw them. Excuse the language. So, so angry over all this woke PC stuff the last few years especially.

I don’t get it. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn’t signed\released in June at all. what’s this about?

(playing dumb, but I’d give 100:1 odds that the folks who celebrate juneteenth don’t even know when the EP was signed\released.)

“People were very offended by it,” said Starks-Richardson, an educator in the Indianapolis area.

How many and what are their names?

Since when is Red Velvet anything to do with blacks?

[the OlLine Rebel]

I really hate this crap about stupid-speak “Juneteenth” since June 19 is my sister’s birthday, RIP. Never mind often Father’s Day as this year.

Fried chicken,
Watermelon,
Cadillac cars…
We ain’t as dumb….

???

I think Black men look great in white suits.

Corn on the cob (Bread and Butter corn) for the stove pot. The grand kids love it!

[the OlLine Rebel]

BS.

And I will never allow them 1 stinking inch on crap like this.

Don’t let them keep controlling the narrative.

Their whole premise is that the US is horrible, terrible, and your beloved Yankees in the ACW weren’t enough.

[Jamestown1630]

Conco de Mayo in the US was ‘meant’ to further the liquor industry.

[Scrambler Bob]

(I never liked them smashing Washington and Lincoln together into ‘Presidents Day’
= = =

They can do that because Washington and Lincoln were gay, and they were ‘partners’.

[Gay State Conservative]

No,I'm not "White". I'm white. No need to capitalize white *or* black. The articles that really get me are the ones where black is capitalized and white isn't.I've seen Fox news do that once or twice...and I'll bet that others have as well. Either they're both capitalized...or neither of them are. I'm voting for "neither".

Just sayin'...

[the OlLine Rebel]

Notice how they play with words. The last 5 years there has been a wholesale push and modification of official national park text to state “enslaved people” rather than simply “slaves” because it’s demeaning.

I hate these people. I really hate these commies whose whole world is hating America.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Don’t let the pro-Yankee rah-rahs on FR hear that. They still think EP freed slaves (oops, “enslaved people”).

[the OlLine Rebel]

I thought it was Colt 45?

[shoff]

A few years ago a co-workers wife wanted to go to the MLK museum in NYC on MLK day. Drove all the way into the city to find of all days it was closed on MLK day. LOL!

[FreedomPoster]

Again, I will continue to celebrate Juneteenth with pride, in my own way!

[the OlLine Rebel]

What?

I wouldn’t say anything like that about color matching!

They like watermelon. So do lots of whites. So what?

Why is everyone so self-conscious these days?

[Jamestown1630]

My husband and his Black boss have a running joke about Billy Dee Williams.
