Juneteenth is a Marxist invention just like Kwanza. Marxism does not promote liberty and freedom.

Oh yes.

They called it Independence Day. Juneteenth was a jubilee.

These communists usurped it and twisted it.

They do not believe the US is a legitimate nation. They think it is 1619 country.

They stole the election. They put up their flag, rainbow flag everywhere they could.

It was a coup.

re: “The same narrative suggests that slaves in Galveston, Texas, were ignorant of their freedom until Union General Gordon Granger arrived and read General Order No. 3 from a balcony.”

TOO BAD we didn’t have something like the telegraph spanning the nation that this sort of news could ‘flash across’ ..

Oh - wait ...

I have Zero issue celebrating the end of slavery in the US. However Juneteenth is the absolutely stupidest name ever.. Emancipation Day, Liberty Day, Freedom Day… any number of adequate names could have been used. Latching onto this stupid name and date was sadly just pandering and has created a division that was not needed .

“The Ideological Aim of Juneteenth was to Replace the Fourth of July“
I actually did hear brief fireworks nearby last night.

I was 😮 and 🙄 at the same time.

Yeah, well, like most people, I’m tired of the perpetual parade of “celebrate, reward and applaud the ‘culture of blackness.’”

” Not until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865, were those people truly and legally freed.”

I have been saying this for years. Those FIVE Slave states and Washington D.C. that remained in the UNION slowly abolished slavery, Maryland and Delaware the last hold outs till Dec 1865.

Juneteenth: A day when “we” celebrate the occasion of a bunch of illiterates learning that they had been granted freedom (a concept that they did not, and most of their descendants do not, understand) on a silver platter paid for with the blood and treasure of other people (toward whom they felt, and most of their descendants feel, no sense of gratitude). It is a celebration of ignorance, arrogance, and undeserved entitlement.

"suggests slavery ended not through constitutional means, not through war and statesmanship, but through a lone Union general bringing news to an isolated group of ignorant slaves"

His statement was the same type of thing for which Phil Sherdan was rebuked by Johnson. Johnson believed he had included political terms in the surrender of Johnston. Freeing the slaves is clearly a political issue.

Wanna make it go away? Call it, “Juneteenth, Honoring the Day Republicans Freed the Slaves.”

In May 1963 I attended an NAACP meeting in Chicago suburbs. Half the group was planning for a Junteenth celebration.

The other half objected because Junteenth was a Republican event intended to rub salt in the wounds of Democrats.

Of course, in 1963 June 19 was not a holiday and few were even aware of it.

History is funny. The Tulsa race riots were conducted by Pro Woodrow Wilson, Pro Jennings Bryan Democrats against Republicans. But that is never mentioned.

My daughter’s highschool texbooks were totally inaccurate about the Vietnam War and the War on Poverty...blaming Nixon for LBJs war. I am not a fan of Nixon but the textbooks were unbelievable.

History is funny. History is controlled by those who ......

Independence Day has fireworks and barbecues. “Juneteenf” has pathetic self-pity and wallowing in misery.

You’d have better odds of replacing Christmas with Holocaust Remembrance Day.
