Legitimate celebration of emancipation begins with the Declaration of Independence, which doomed slavery in this country; doomed to extinction an institution which had been at the center of economic activity throughout world history. The philosophical doctrines consulted for our founding placed master and slave on the same natural plane of existence. All were defined as equally possessing intangible, individual liberties. Next the Emancipation Proclamation shattered slavery beyond recovery in this country. The Thirteenth Amendment passed in December 1865 freed the last quarter-million slaves held in border states and states that did not secede.
The actions of Major General Gordon Granger in June 1865 bore witness to momentous events. In its irrelevancy, the Juneteenth holiday allows an irrelevant social/political faction to exhume the rotting or desiccated carcasses of racist expressions from prior generations for the philosophical underpinnings that support White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory. These expressions enable accumulation of a swarm that imagines systemic racism through newly created discoveries to foster anxieties and prejudices.
The allegiance is to Cultural Marxism. Karl Marx said, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. So, instead of embracing intangible, personal liberties as found in our Declaration of independence and Constitution, people join swarms around race. They malinger under a revived burden of virulent mythologies producing black urban cultures with shattered families, indiscriminate abortion, and rampant criminality; cultures where blacks re-segregate themselves and reject Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream of a symphony of brotherhood.
Nice post and well articulated:
