Candace Owens Says Juneteenth Gives Black People 'Perpetual Victim Mentality'
Newsweak ^ | 6/18/21 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 06/18/2021 2:13:21 AM PDT by Libloather

Conservative political pundit Candace Owens said she won't be celebrating the new federal holiday of Juneteenth, suggesting that the move to commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S. is just the Democrats trying to "repackage segregation."

In a series of tweets posted after President Joe Biden signed the bill officially making June 19 a national holiday, Owens said she will only be celebrating Independence Day on July 4 instead of the date on which the last slaves were told they were free in 1865.

Owens also suggested the holiday will train Black people to see themselves as "being separate from America" and that the move to recognize the June 19 holiday only came about because the Left started "making up random celebrations" after Donald Trump got permanently banned from Twitter.

"Juneteenth is soooo lame. Democrats really need to stop trying to repackage segregation. I'll be celebrating July 4th and July 4th only. I'm American," Owens tweeted.

"It took all of 2 years for Democrats to train black Americans to worship criminals like George Floyd, beg for violence on the streets via 'defund the police' and to celebrate segregation in the form of 'black Independence Day'. I just cannot comprehend the rampant stupidity," Owens added.

**SNIP**

America doesn't discriminate against people based on skin. Black Americans are just focused on meaninglessness like 'Juneteenth.'

"Twitter is literally so boring without Trump. It's just demented leftists making up random celebrations and trends like, HAPPY TRANSGENDER GYMNAST AWARENESS MONTH!"

I want White Inventions Day, where all things invented by whites are turned off or not used on that day, midnight to midnight.

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.

Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs - partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.

Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

- Booker T. Washington (1856 - 1915), historical black educator and Presidential advisor

FWIW: Due to the unprecedented speed at which this new Federal Holiday has been implemented, the US Stock Markets, in an equally unusual move, have decided to remain open for usual business. Amongst other concerns is the fact that 18 June is a major 'options closing' day that would be otherwise severely disrupting to those markets.

Anybody else think that this new Federal Holiday serves to rub it in that our government workers now are even more compensated and awarded than ever before? Gone, even further, into the dustbin of history is the old 'civil contract' where the accepted differentiation was that government workers got guaranteed jobs, good holiday & vacations and retirements while marketplace workers got good advancement OPPORTUNITIES & PAY for MERIT, risks for unemployment and uncertain retirements! When was the last time that a Civil Service employee was fired for cause, hmmm?

Robert A Heinlein, "Time Enough for Love" (1973), "In a mature society, 'civil servant' is semantically equal to 'civil master'."

If they can’t pronounce JUNE NINETEENTH, then maybe they can’t find a way to get an ID.

Just like Democrats want and need Candace. Abusing black Americans is how Democrats remain in power.

Yesterday morning, the early news on WBAP stated Juneteenth commemorated the day the UNION SOLDIERS ORDERED Texas slave owners to free their slaves.

My whole life, Juneteenth was the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas.

How’s THAT for changing history.

Course, it was the news person who can’t ALWAY pronounce TEXAS correctly. (I don’t know why she has a job if she can’t pronounce TEXAS correctly.)

She has a point.

4th of July we Demanded our Freedom.

Juneteenth they were "Given" theirs.

You don't have to look far in the Great Society / Welfare State to see that these people do not appreciate things given to them.

It will be weaponized by the left to advance CRT and further divide our society.

Historians say that Rome eventually fell, as they had SO MANY holidays, reasons to not work. For the Japanese we need to e’remember the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped, and for the Mexicans, March 6th, 1837 the Alamo, and the Native Americans, Custers Last Stand..., and for those WRITE people who got slaughtered by Cheyennes on the Oregon Trail, and make a holiday to remember that FDR, never received any refugees fleeing Spain in 1938..he nailed the doors shut in NYC and sent to Laredo to cross into Mexico. There is a LOT of sad, very unfortunate things that happened to every race. Don’t forget the Irish, and the poor Vietnamese soldiers who stood with us... many ended up and formed their ghettos of Hmongs...so what is the point of this? WHY FOR GOSH SAKES, IF THIS COUNTRY IS SO RACIST, WHY, OR WHY, IS THE ENTIRE WORLD DYING TO COME, AND PAY THEIR LAST CENT TO SET THEIR FOOT UPON AMERICAN SOIL AND BREATH FREDOM. It Must be the Best Country in the entire World. Now...I’ll go get my coffee.

And that is its purpose. We now have kwanzaa, juneteenff, MLK day, black history month, so that we are never more than a few months away from constant official propaganda about how evil Whites are.
This is to prepare us for reparations. (But that will not be the end of it.)

Never saw those commercials. Never was enamored with Blue Nun, but I was spoiled...lived in Traben-Trarbach, a lovely town on the Mosel River for 4 years.

My commute to work my last two years took me through the Urziger Wurzgarten vineyards. Coming home, that part of the drive took away whatever stress I had.

I am with Candace Owens on this.

She knows that this will only be a tool used by the woke to further the left's agenda. Any legitimate education or celebration is not in their cards.

This should not be a “national holiday”. A remembrance yes, but not a national holiday.

we have enough national holidays. It’s not a Hallmark push to have everyday a holiday to buy cards.

That circle Candace runs with (TPUSA) liked it at the time. Now she just blurts out something opposite because the media rewards those who are first not those who are thoughtful.

Same here she understands what is is happening.

It took all of 2 years for Democrats to train black Americans to worship criminals.
