June Umpteefus is just another scam. Mike Sasquatch Sombrero is using the myth to keep blacks registering to vote until they puke. How many times do those ahos have to register?

Somebody wrote the other day that the “Juneteenth” holiday is no more violent than any other holiday.

Constantly calling attention to past wrongs will not help the nation move past them. Juneteenth is bogus because slavery did not officially end until December 6, 1865, with the passage of the 13th Amendment.

“A Juneteenth celebration at Lake Merritt in Oakland took a dramatic turn as gunshots rang out”

Perhaps replace the word “dramatic” with “expected”.

If they don’t want to be de-humanized, they should stop acting as animals.
Oh, and stop voting for this.

Blazing Saddles anticipated the need to take cover when not everyone agrees with the Bible.

Let’s don’t let facts get in the way of the narrative.

My namesake from West Tennessee fought for the Union, owned slaves and didn’t have to free them until the passage of the 13th Amendment. His home in West Tennessee was under Union occupation when the “Emancipation Proclamation” was made and therefore he was exempt from Lincoln’s edict. Many people that fought for the Union or the Confederacy didn’t give a whim about slavery.
