Juneteenth has fallen victim to racial capitalism. Black Americans are no longer the focus.

>>Juneteenth as a federal and now state holiday is humorous to say the least. White people having a paid day off on Juneteenth is not only the antithesis of the entire day, it represents a sinister cycle of America reluctantly giving Black Americans what we are owed, and only if white America can benefit from it.

We still struggle with housing, education, transportation and health because of the generational ignorance to racism. To pay white people on Juneteenth is a slap in the face to every Black American and the ancestors we come from. If these systems were so invested in helping Black communities, they would commit to that notion materially. They would put their money where their mouths are.

But we as Black Americans know better than to expect that.

So each year it’ll get worse. More red and green will seep into marketing flyers. More “partnerships” will develop. More logos stamped on the backs of our shirts.

They’ve usurped and co-opted a local jubilee day for nefarious purposes.

“We still struggle with housing, education, transportation and health”

But the Unions and their members don’t.
Another day off brought to you by the Union Soviets.

I recently learned that May 10th is Confederate Memorial Day in SC. It just so happens that I went to the DMV and it was closed. State workers have the day off. I was not upset.

Is today not the day that we celebrate the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?

Let’s give blacks a special paid day off. Then everyone else (all other races) will hate them even more.

:: Blacks in this country in general may be THE most racist group of people IN this country. ::

And, for that, they are truthful in blaming the Republican party.
Republican capitulation to the left has created the most racist society ever; and it is driven by the American negro, descended from slaves.
Or sometimes, not.
Like Barak.
And Kamala.
Opportunity don’t you know.

Ask a black man, “How many negro slaves freed the negro slaves.”

I seem to recall one year they combined Juneteenth with Confederate Heroes day but that can’t be right, wrong time of the year. Must of been MLK’s birthday and Confederate Heroes Day.

I’m fine with this being a holiday—in Texas.

“Ask a black man, “How many negro slaves freed the negro slaves.”

They need fo be asked how many African tribes sold othe African tribes INTO slavery......a little fact blacks and the left always conveniently fail to recognize.

Several generations ago. A lot has changed since the late 1960s.

Now you are getting into the Obama family business.

Who did those violent tribes sell their “spoils of war” to in North and East Africa?
Why the Muslim Arabs...it’s in their “book of good deeds”.

Fedgov = 26 days vacation, 13 days sick leave, 11 Federal Holidays. Total = 10 weeks paid time off.
