Amen even corporations are into on the shake down game who says there’s no profit in racism.

Are the freeing of all the WHITE slaves - America’s ORIGINAL slaves - also going to be celebrated???? ( And if ANYONE says “Indentured Servitude” , THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR FACE SMASHED IN!!!! )

Here’s an irony: One of these years,”juneteenth” will happen to fall on Father’s Day....THE IRONY.

Please don’t forget: Pączki....

And how did the slaves in 1865 Delaware celebrate Juneteenth? OH WAIT! They were still slaves until the 13th Amendment was ratified, six months later!

[catnipman]

i predict that within three years that Junteenth will see more violence than all the other U.S. holidays, with more violent deaths, more shooting deaths, more shooting injuries, more knife deaths, and more knife injuries than all the rest of the U.S. holidays put together ...

And Dyngus Day.

I appreciate The Orthosphere site not just for the articles, but also for the exercise it gives my vocabulary. 70 years old and still learning.

Stay safe out there, my friend. It's definitely getting sporty.

Why are Blacks celebrating the end of slavery today? They’re still enslaved to the Democrat Party as we speak!

Did someone say Making Whoopee?

My ninth grade boarding school had a summer camp, called Camp Whoopee, no beer though, just camp fire stories about the Chicken Footed Lady...

I’m Irish. My people were slaves too.

Can you imagine Juneteenth in Miami Beach? Hot weather, booze, and guns.

I’m half Irish and half Acadian. Irish fens meets the Loosiana bayou

I get St. Paddy’s and Mardi Gras.

No black people endured anything like "Black 47".
