AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth
Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday.
“They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill.
“It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at statewide GOP efforts to curb critical race theory being taught in public schools.
Juneteenth marks the formal end of slavery in the United States and is the first new federal holiday in 40 years. Though there were 14 GOP defectors, the holiday vote unanimously passed the Senate and had overwhelming bipartisan support.

I did my own research and found that the majority of the Democrats voted FOR the legislation that had been championed by Kennedy (D) and LBJ (D).
By asking him for evidence supporting his statement I was trying to be nice - unlike you.
Since the evidence is so easy to find, show me where the Democratic party didn't support the legislation. Yes, they fillibustered, yes Everett Durksin was against it but the bill passed because the Democratic leadership pushed it.
My goodness…. So you managed to find their filibuster !
Remarkable.
See, you are not entirely incompetent.
Yep. Even the liberal NY Daily news says that......
To me it’s all about what Freeper Nateman said on this thread #2:
“This holiday is part of the ongoing Communist Revolution. It is designed to upstage the 4th of July and open up a racist wound on a yearly basis. It is part of the Marxist divide and conquer tactic. Anybody who voted for this were either short sighted or bandwagon cowards.”
We have Freepers ...quite a few who support this holiday
The south hating list on my homepage is full of them
Right minded people here take the time to know your fellow posters
Quite a few are charlatans
Oh lord......you’ve been misinformed
A majority of Dems supported the civil rights bullshit legislation which btw opened Pandora’s box of POC preference and white demonization
A liberal to moderate block of GOPe supported it
Conservative GOPe were against it
Goldwater and Magnus and so on opposed it...they and the Dixiecrats...who were a minority in the dem party and who either moved GOPe or left or replaced by GOPe in the south by the end of Carter largely
There is a reason Goldwater carrier the cotton states in 1964
Leftist northeastern GOPe supported it
Moderates...some...led by Dirksen voted for it
You’re an example of how talk radio has not served is well but being inaccurate on history to suit their narrative
No offense
They suspended you because you IQ was higher than theirs they won’t allow any of that.
Their motto protect the useful idiots.
Where on earth do you learn such a fable
God almighty I would kick Glenn Becks teeth in if I could
He and others have so misinformed people
Beck is a race conscious liberal pretending to be a conservative cause he loves Israel so much
That’s pretty much it
White illegitimacy 1960 was negligible ...maybe 1-2%
Blacks was 20% to 25%
Whites in the south...like me....you know the racist peoples...already knew how black culture disfunctioned ...so did yankees they just could stay away from it easier...
Today....illegimtimacy is around 20% for whites...higher I Think
And 70-80% for blacks...likely higher there too
So who’s been more hurt by the implosion of the American culture...
No question in my mind blacks and whites were better off in 1960 than now even if segregated...family structure wise
And popular culture wise while we’re at it
And all that is not all great society fault though it was no question the catalyst...I’d blame the pill too but black women don’t bother...
All men were created equal with regard to inalienable rights....an oft misused quote...maybe the most misused
Jefferson and the run on sentence...God love him
Another kernel....from 1917 to 1975 the legitimacy rate for whites and non whites went up markedly....funny isn’t it...black just two generations from the plantation prior to the Great Migrations north had lower illegitimacy even then....and yet all we hear about if oppression and lynchings
Are lynched and oppressed folks picking cotton and baling hay and doing labor in Dixie more likely to marry and stay married...before factory work up north spoiled em
That’s an interesting question isn’t it
Nobody addresses all this honestly...it’s like Trump and Charlottesville ...you get your hand mauled if you speak truth to power about race
Well I don’t give a shit who likes me
Sorry you are having such a bad Father’s Day.
Maybe if you stopped telling people around you that they are incompetent you’d have better days.
Having a wonderful Father’s Day.
Thank you for your time.
I wish they would send her back to whatever shithole she came from.
“All men were created equal with regard to inalienable rights....an oft misused quote...maybe the most misused”
British monarchs like King George III claimed “the Divine Right of Kings”. They claimed their legitimacy to rule came directly from Almighty God, and they could decide what Rights their subjects enjoyed.
American Colonial rebels weren’t having it. We/they were going to choose our own leaders, our Rights came from God not the King, and the alleged divinely chosen George could go screw himself.
That’s what Jefferson’s flowery prose was about. It’s not the broad, airy philosophizing that clowns like Hannity and Beck try to make it. And they aren’t alone. I think we can trace the poison to Harry Jaffa and Claremont. Russell Kirk should have dispatched Jaffa in a duel.
I wish this hate-driven idiot would shut her stupid pie-hole.
Probably happened too quickly. I would had voted no. I think this is a good cause but I may had preferred to celebrate President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 (It became effective on January 1 but that day is already a holiday).
“the civil rights bullshit legislation which btw opened Pandora’s box of POC preference and white demonization”
The 1964 Civil Rights Act essentially set up courts of racial thought crime. The administrative agencies created by the act could, and did, charge virtually anyone of criminal racism simply based upon numbers. The accused were assumed to be guilty and had to prove their innocence. This is still the case.
SCOTUS tossed gasoline on this fire in 1971 with the Griggs v Duke Power decision. There have been others in succeeding years.
Excellent work!
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
