I’ll be working don’t worry
OK, then I'll bring some potato salad.
“Do not forget the black slave owners, do their descendants pay or collect?”
Since they are seeking reparations from people that had nothing to do with their ancestors enslavement, I suppose I am entitled to reparations from Africans.
Egyptians were Africans, last I checked.
There were approximately 319,599 free blacks in the United States in 1830. Approximately 13.7 per cent of the total black population was free. A significant number of these free blacks were the owners of slaves. The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves.
The percentage of blacks in the USA that owned slaves: 1.18%
The percentage of whites in the USA that owned slaves: 1.26%
There’s a lot to be said of a poisoned soul with hatred.
Ok ...then do not show up for the July 4th celebrations unless you look like the founding fathers did on July 4, 1776.
I guess the logical conclusion to this narrative is that integration was a mistake and that segregation is inevitable.
I’m OK with that.
Misleading. 25% of whites lived in a household that owned slaves. You’re counting just the head of household.
***Juneteenth is freedom day for Black folks.***
Bunkum. Slavery in the North did not end till the 13 Amendment was ratified in Dec 1865.
Not interested in chitlins, chicken feet, pigs feet and ham hocks anyway:-)
“Kinda funny…and not. Short answer: Those who would have been enslaved in 1865 get to come to the cookout,” Abdullah responded.

Going to be a sparsely attended cookout.
Another date of more importance than what happened in Texas on June 19 was the Emancipation Proclamation signed on January 1, 1863. I can think of other civil rights milestones^ more important than June 19.
* Yes, I know some were frauds.
Several months ago a poster on another board asked what would be the most appropriator things to cook for the holiday. I replied that given the holiday’s origin it should be Tex-Mex.
You stay away, I stay away.
Solved. Done.
Only woke losers would want to go. As for the sane ones, who would want to jeopardize their life by going to an event where a bunch of gangbangers will get wasted and start shooting their illegally owned firearms sideways.
Check back after the 19th and see how many ghetto shootings there will be on that cursed day.
It’s always the light-skinned ones.
LOL
Juneteenth celebrates when Republicans freed slaves from their Democrat owners .
Nope.
If you want to quibble, just limit the percentage to southern states to get the usual liberal line.
