Why don’t blacks reckon with Africans that rounded up and sold their people into slavery?
Only blacks were slaves ?
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
Washington post can’t help themselves.
I guarantee this young liberal woke writer had no idea what Juneteenth was until it was declared a holiday.
What they should REALLY “reckon with” is why so many of the people that they are celebrating with want to shoot them.
White Catholics? Never heard of such a term. Just Catholics, and their country of origin maybe.
A picture was put up showing this little Japanese girl saying she wasn’t responsible for Pearl Harbor and a little American girl saying she wasn’t responsible for Hiroshima/Nagasaki since all that happened 80 years ago or so; but yet, we have the media and African-Americans still screaming about slavery that ended 150 years ago.
Oh, do they mean the history like when the Church was the only human institution on the planet to condemn slavery in the 16th century? That history?
What’re the odds we ever see an article title something along the lines of “Black democrats celebrate Juneteenth, reckon with their party’s history of slavery and Jim Crow laws” ?
