Because when every last vestige of slavery and racism are removed from American history, something will happen.

So it’s a holiday in honor of a Republican. :)
I wonder how many people there praising this, even know that?

Anything that has its roots in slavery needs to be removed from America. I mean everything and anybody.

I hope they remember to mention that the first people ever to abolish slavery, and to influence others to abolish it, were Christians.

Yes, Democrats and descendants of slaves. Then there would be no racism in America.

Until the colonies declared independence, Britain forbad any colony from abolishing slavery. Between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, five colonies abolished slavery. In his draft Jefferson included a passage saying imposing slavery on the colonies was a grievance against the king, but the Continental Congress wrote it out. In fact no more than 40% of Jeffersons draft survived editing by the congress.

Neo slavery is presently the rule in Virginia.
The Governor removed his black face but full bore slavery is his objective unless he some how manages to hang himself like Jeff Epstein

Good God. Virginia is becoming a fever swamp of Leftists that threatens to outpace my Leftist state...and that is saying something.
Sad.

You are absolutely right. Those totally dependent on government are slaves in fact.

As the DC swamp expands in size, it was inevitable that adjoining areas would be overwhelmed with people whose livelihood depends on the FedGov.

Last time I was in Charlottesville, (3 weeks ago) I walked through Target wearing a Keep America Great hat and a Black Guns Matter T-shirt.
Somehow I survived.

I have the same feeling in my gut when I see things like this, that I get when I drive through Concord Massachusetts and see the Leftist idiots out there demanding Trump’s impeachment and the town considering banishing the firing of muskets.
It is just wrong. The two places had so much to do with the founding of our country, and it pains me to see them espousing Leftism.
