oh to add they also defaced the monument in Boston to the 54th regiment.
These people are complete idiots who know nothing of history, hell most of them do not even know it was the Democrat party which was for slavery and against the civil rights act 64

Same with my corporate company.
The leadership are gutless cowards and they are scared.

I’d bet about 70% of our workforce isn’t down with “BLM”.

So, memorial statues of Confederate figures and war dead must come down lest they trigger seizures; actors and businesspersons of all sorts must be purged if they ever had a racist utterance; even Penny Lane must be renamed because the eponymous Mr. Penny was a slave trader two hundred years ago.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS UNDISPUTABLY THE PROPONENT AND VEHICLE OF SLAVERY, CIVIL WAR, JIM CROW, AND SEGREGATION.

Why is the Democrat Party suffered to exist one moment more? Why aren’t America’s black people triggered by it’s very name? Why doesn’t Joe Biden have to answer for that constantly?

Sorry, but your premise is wrong. Juneteenth has nothing to do with ending slavery. It is nothing more than a ritual ignorantly conflating the extension of the Emancipation Proclamation to MOST areas of the defeated Confederacy. Slavery remained legal under US law in any state that still allowed slavery - Maryland and Missouri - as well as the parishes (counties) around New Orleans until the forced ratification of the 13th Amendment. Further, it had nothing to do with the alignments of the political parties as they exist today

The freed slaves adored Abraham Lincoln. So why aren’t the descendants of slaves holding pictures of Lincoln?

You are right that they don’t know history or who anyone in the statues even is

We. make a good combo.

Thanks to Jim’s lead and your photo, Freepers who take a couple of minutes realize that this was an important date re the end of slavery.

The left and their mediots never wanted this simple and great reality out for everyone know and realize.

I’m with ya.

Just like the year in the 80’s when someone decided blacks needed their own Christmas and came up with “Kwanza” -just like that...

NEVER heard of “Juneteenth” until Donald Trump wanted to hold a rally on the date. Something tells me, if he’d waited til June 20th, they’d have re-named it and called him racist for dissing their most sacred day...

This childish nonsense is SO old...

But this is a great way to make them stop in their tracks and reverse direction, isn’t it? Putting the blame where it belongs wouldn’t be very comfortable...so they just MIGHT reconsider their positions. Heck - is possible, I guess!

“”Obama never once commemorated this “Holiday” during his presidency as far as I know.””

I think you’re right. He was too busy celebrating Kwanza and the progress he was making in destroying OUR country...OURS, not his!

Thank You. As a "Native Texan" I've known about Juneteenth all my life. (That's a long time..I'm in my 80's now. lol)
Knowing the history on the holiday most, if not all, native Texans know all about Juneteenth.
I haven't been to a Juneteenth in several years since my health and age doesn't permit me to but it is a lot of fun with good food and good music.
The last time I went it was the one at "Lake Mexia" and it was great.

NOW that it's gonna be known about by the whole world and Lord only knows what'll happen to it.
Likely the "libs" will destroy it.....

Juneteenth is the day the Republicans were able to free all the slaves.

The Democrats never forgave them for it.
