Obama’s Hijacking of ‘Juneteenth’ for his Museum
Front Page Magazine ^ | 14 Jun, 2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 06/14/2026 11:15:18 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of.

Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery.

It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego.

The reality, as most black people will admit, is that the Obama era hardly left them better off unless you count his role in launching the nationwide race riots of BLM.

The Obama era was good for the Obamas. Much as the ugly scar on the skyline of Chicago that some are calling the Obamalisk is good for the Obamas. After wrecking the area and blowing through half a billion dollars that could have been far better spent in the black community, the ‘Obamalisk’ is yet another monument to one man while doing nothing for the black community except hijacking their history for his power and profit.

Obama's ancestors owned slaves in America. None of his ancestors were slaves in this country. Just imagine if a White president with the same family history opened their library on Juneteenth. I am sure that it would be regarded as being in bad taste, at a minimum.

His white ancestors were slave owners and his Arab ancestors were slavers.

“Juneteenth” was instituted as a national holiday by stupid biden.

It is a holiday for Texas, biden, obama, and a few others.

It should NOT be a national holiday!!

I actually like it that he appropriated this absurd holiday for anyone but Texans.

Makes sense.

“Rather than embracing a post-racial label, Obama viewed the American journey toward equality as a generational, “zig-zagging” process. He consistently urged Americans not to avoid the difficult conversations about race, but to actively work to understand perspectives different from their own to bridge societal divides.”
—NBC News. Jan.14, 2017.

Some people apparently zigged when they should have zagged.

Worse than that, he stole Albert Speers’ plans.

I never had a problem with it as a Texas holiday, that was a fine thing for them as far as I am concerned.

Heck, we in Massachusetts have a State holiday on March 17th of “Evacuation Day” when the British abandoned Boston due to the cannons brought down by General Knox from Fort Ticonderoga which made Boston completely indefensible for them. A good holiday for Massachusetts.

But for the nation? Of course not.

Can’t stand “Juneteenth”. The stupid folk grammar aspect of it grates on me every time I hear or see it outside the parochial context of a Texas state holiday.

Obama has taken race baiting to a whole new level. He’s a master baiter.

The ONLY reason to celebrate June 19th is the 1953 executions of Julius & Ethel Rosenberg, communist traitors to USA.

Whenever I see a picture of that giant trash can I can’t help but picture Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet in Spaceballs,

except,

it’s Bath House Barry in the lead role, in the giant helmet to accommodate his ears and he’s at the helm of this giant trashcan that turns into a spaceship

but it falls over instead of flying

The End.

No one pays attention to it. Not even white women primary teachers. School’s out.
