Thoughts?
Personally I think the holiday has potential. If it’s de-wokified and the entire scope of the abolition movement was truly celebrated and understood. Especially from a Christian and patriotic standpoint.
The democrats having been training people to be victim’s for decades.
What about Latinos? Can they have Cinco de Maya?
So, I love Juneteenth. And I live in Texas, where it all began. I agree...the holiday has POTENTIAL and it should become something we can ALL celebrate, which is a milestone in the story of human freedom and liberty. What is there not to like here? It should be a celebration of freedom and liberty, in the same moral universe as July 4, and for Texans at least Cinco de Mayo (Mexico freedom from Spain...), and Texas independence.
However...since we have no social discourse today, we have no common values that can be appealed to universally, we don’t sing the National Anthem as if it belongs t ALL of us, sadly, but practically, I think Candace is right.
It becomes another day of grievance. And that is something to avoid.
All that said....a holiday is free game once it goes into effect.
I suppose it’s up to people like us to shout the real meaning from the mountain tops. This is a day to celebrate human emancipation! And ALL freedom-loving people should share in that celebration!
It will be weaponized by the left to advance CRT and further divide our society.
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.
