Is Juneteenth a Rival to July 4th?
US Incorporated ^ | June 30th, 2021 | Allan Wall

Posted on 07/01/2021 4:46:58 AM PDT by River Hawk

You’ve got to hand it to our senators and representatives in Washington, D.C.

They can’t balance the budget. They can’t defend our freedoms. They can’t do a lot of things.

What they can do is rapidly approve a dubious national holiday without even thinking or debating about what that holiday may be used for.

Congratulations, Congress.

I refer to the “Juneteenth” celebration, formerly a regional holiday, now, suddenly, a federal holiday, and if you disagree with it you’re a horrible person.

Juneteenth is a rival to Kwanza.

Both are preposterous fake African holidays

Africanization of the City States is destroying America

{The renaming of holidays, destroying statues, renaming streets etc is part of the Marxist playbook.}

By Max Denken

Here is what an enemy does to a conquered nation – in this case the Soviets upon their entry into the major Polish city of of Lwow (now Lviv):

“Khrushchev especially wanted a quick de-polonization of the city. Still in the same month they changed the names of 63 streets to Russian or Ukrainian ones [HOW MANY US STREETS’ NAMES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THOSE OF THE LEFT’S HEROES LIKE MLK, CESAR CHAVEZ, HARVEY MILK? HOW MANY STATUES OF AMERICAN HEROES HAVE BEEN SMASHED?). They cancelled all the pre-war religious holidays but introduced new ones like Day of the Soviet Army, Women’s Day, Lenin’s Birthday (and lots more). [NOW THINK ABOUT JUNETEENTH, CONFLATING THE TWO PRESIDENT’S DAYS TO MAKE ROOM FOR MLK, RENAMING CHRISTMAS “HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON,” etc.] Even earlier they had removed the teaching of religion in schools [SOUNDS FAMILIAR?] Also, a decision was undertaken to carry out a mass operation of the “Polish nationalist and anti-Soviet element” [JANUARY 6 ANYONE?]

And from another historical account:
”Almost simultaneously, the Soviets initiated a large operation to reverse the ethnic ratios in the city. With the help of especially organized railway and truck transports they brought tens of thousands of Russians from Russia and Ukraine in order to then register them as residents of the city. According to a Soviet survey, on October 1, 1944 66.7% of the residents were Poles and 26.4% were Ukrainians. Hardly a month later, on November 1, 1944, Poles were 46% of the total and the number of Ukrainians and Russians had grown by 80,000. [REMEMBER AMERICA’S “IMMIGRATION,” “REFUGEES” AND OPEN BORDERS? BIDEN’S MAIN PRIORITY?]

I’m not making it up. The linguistically-capable will find the sources of these two paragraphs here https://przystanekhistoria.pl/pa2/teksty/81278,Czym-byl-koniec-wojny-dla-Lwowa.html and https://dzienniknarodowy.pl/wysiedlenie-polakow-ze-lwowa-cz-ii/. And of course there is the change of flags, of icons even the language. Study the photo below in front of the Great Theater of Polish Lwow just a couple of months after the Soviets entered. See the change in the icons – those are Soviet leaders in the posters and Soviet officers on the dais — and in the language: Russian in a Polish city. [PARA ESPANOL OPRIMA EL NUMERO DOS or consider the Rainbow flag imposed on the American people from above, giant MLK monument in DC, George Floyd in Newark, 13% of US population represented in 75 -100% of all its media products and advertising, etc.]

No. It will never be such a holiday, one widely embraced by all of America’s people.

Ten years from now it will probably be back to it’s former status of obscurity except for a federal day off. Juneteenth is more of a memorial based on a time in our history most of us would prefer not thinking about.

Juneteenth will be degraded by young blacks marking it as a day to show their distrust and displeasure with the USA.

I guess I am a terrible person. A “National Holiday” should be just that, a holiday that celebrates the entire population, not a very small portion of it. This holiday does and will mean nothing for most of the country. Not to mention the term Juneteenth sounds illiterate.

It celebrates the Republican victory over the Democrat slavers.

Fine by me.

No, but that’s their intention in making it a national holiday—to further divide the nation.

This week, let's watch and see how Independence Day is framed by Libs and the MSM (but I repeat myself) as they regurgitate their mental illness.

Watch for "context" and "interpretation" phrases designed to steer American's perception of America AWAY from traditional views and toward "equity" and other Marxist strategies.

Ha ha!

Better than a 4th holiday to wallow in America’s evil (after our October and November indigenous people’s days and how MLK day has been weaponized).

Juneteenth should commemorate all those who lost their lives in the Civil War.

The celebration of the end of slavery in the United States isn’t a bad thing folks...

No that doesn’t mean I buy into the radical left wing activist BS that is involved in the racial division and violence going on today, but celebrating the end of a horrific practice of human slavery in the United States isn’t a bad thing.

I probably would have chosen the date of the ratification of the 13th or 14th amendments over the “last day” of the Civil War, but that’s nitpicking.

Nothing a politician likes better than handing out money and paid days off.

Dupes and useful idiots.

With the constant propaganda, and given another generation to go through our Public Schools, and indoctrinated, it will replace July 4th in a generation.
