I’m not invited ? This ranks with joy begat withholding sex.
It’ll be the biggest sacrifice ever, but okay. I won’t even ask.
Who’d want to?
Interesting.
The First lady and me were invited to a Juneteenth cook out.
I got a good tan, and the First lady is African American so I guess we qualify.

What if I bring my own watermelon?
Are Juneteenth cookouts similar to birthday parties and funerals when it comes to probability of getting shot?
I guess we don’t want to cover the bit about it being a black man that got the courts to recognize the right for a human being to own another human being.
Nah.
In honor of Juneteenth, a history lesson:
How a black man became the first American slave owner
In 1621 a black man by the name of Anthony Johnson arrived from Africa to Virginia to be an indentured servant, not a slave. He was captured by Arab traders in his native Angola and sold as a slave.
By 1635 he had completed his service contract, and by the late 1640’s he had acquired 250 acres of land. As a land owner he started using indentured servants himself, acquiring five. In 1654 one of his servants, a black man by the name of John Casor was due for release from his service. Johnson decided to extend his service and Casor left to work for Robert Parker who was a free white man.
That year Johnson sued Parker in Northampton Court, and in 1655 the court ruled that Johnson could hold Cason indefinitely. The court gave sanction for blacks to hold slaves of their own race. This made Anthony Johnson the first American slave owner and John Cason the first slave in the American colonies. It was another 15 years before the colonial assembly granted free whites, blacks and Indians permission to own black slaves.
How big a jackass can the education industry make?
Looks like we have a candidate for the runoffs.
They would better serve their own interests by actually inviting everyone. I mean if there is one thing all Americans love, it’s a cookout. Lure us in with some burgers and beer, and then they might be able to slip a lecture in before we split.
But they’re too dumb to realize they picked the wrong strategy.
What about desert - can I show up for the watermelon? 🤪
What makes this idiot think any of us would be caught dead at her stupid event!!!
California State University Los Angeles professor of pan-African studies Melina Abdullah issued a tweet telling white individuals not to request to attend a Juneteenth cookout.
Does this mean they want segregation back?
Dont worry, it’s also Father’s Day. Most of us know that guy is.
And there you have it, it’s always been about not wanting to assimilate. I suppose they want segregated schools.
I am surprised our local Gannet rag has this article about White South African Barbecues today.
