Sharpton addresses a juneteenth crowd of "hundreds" today in Tulsa
Thank a Republican if you’re free.
I do not care about this at all.
It’s almost as big as Kwanzaa.
***the June 19 commemoration of the effective end of slavery in the United States***
Bunkum. Slavery did not end in some of the slave states that remained in the Union until Dec 1865, when the 13th Amendment was ratified.
And slavery among the High Plains Indian tribes did not end until the 1880s.
Amazing date?
She got her jollies?
I work at a Dow 30 company for 20 years
this morning we had an 8 minute moment of silence in the start up meeting for Juneteenth for the first time...
90% of us were like WTF?
The whole world has gone woke
I have no problem celebrating the freeing of slaves, but where did this Juneteenth stuff come from seemingly overnight? Never heard of it at all until a day or two ago, and I’m a pretty avid news reader.
Trump should push to make this a national holiday - it commemorates the freeing of slaves by a Republican president, over the objections of Democrats, and Trump is just the man to hammer that point home.
Hispanic citizens and voters, outnumber blacks in the country. So, Hispanics should be demanding their own holiday to recognize the contributions of that ‘minority’ to the country.
Muslims might be getting ready to do their own campaign for a holiday to honor Mohammed. If they do, they’ll get it, mark my words.
One more tool to keep racism and slavery front and center
from now until eternity.
It’s a holiday for blacks from Republicans.
NEAR SILENCE??? One person out of a hundred outside of Texas had ever heard of Juneteenth until two weeks ago. Its 150th Anniverssry was five years ago, a Black man was POTUS and was anything made of it ? And someone should tell all the celebrants of color that Juneteenth was brought to you by young white men from Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maine, and on and on.
Good, I missed it.
The day marks Republicans’ freeing of the slaves from their Democrat masters.
This guy has an interesting political ad...
White People:
Stop Washing the Feet Of Black People.
Black People:
Stop letting other people wash your feet.
CUT OUT THE ACT!

I thought this had something to do with Free Bacon when I first looked at the source. Nevermind.
I’m from TX, but I lived many years ago in rural NV. I had many black friends, who all thought I was pulling their legs the first time I brought up Juneteenth. Since then, I’ve always believed it to be a regional, if not strictly a Texas thing.
But it’s not been a “thing” in many places until the drive-bys made hay of it.
I never heard of it until I moved to Texas - and I STILL think it’s a degrading name for a ‘holiday’.
