Freedom in the United States has always arrived in stages, declared in one space and denied or delayed in another. Such was the reality for formerly enslaved Texans who learned of their emancipation in 1865, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation and the same year he issued his “40 acres and a mule” promise. Indeed, Juneteenth is as old as the call for reparations.

“To be sure, this was not the first time Americans have raised the importance of addressing America’s original sin.”
It was a worldwide practice, moron. African slaves were sold to Americans by AFRICANS.
You can’t separate juneteenth from the GOP freeing the democrat owned slaves.
Any reparations needs to be paid by the democrat party.
Toyotathon is a bigger holiday.
Commies gotta commie. It’s all they know.
Throw in the Irish, Scottish, Chinese, and Indigenous slave descendants while we’re at it. EVERYBODY GETS A CAR!
Black people owe us whites reparation.
True the Civil War was not all about slavery, but a quarter of a million Americans died in battles in part to set blacks free.
I demand payment.
Both Juneteenth and the Tulsa riots are examples where the left totally rewrites history. Most of the public has no awareness of the reality of history.

Nuts
Yes, reparations paid by DNC, the party of slavery.
If nothing else, we’re owed a refund for the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS thrown away on welfare payments that just made them ungrateful wards of the state.
Watch me.
“You Can’t Separate Juneteenth From the Call for Reparations”. In other exciting news, someone, somewhere, took a shit today. Go kwanzaa.
Slavery is still being practiced today. Mostly if not entirely in African and Arab countries.
I can.
No. African slaves were sold by their fellow blacks to the the muslims slave traders. The muslims kept some, castrated some and also sold them to many others. Most of those slaves ended up in the Caribbean Islands. Their mortality rate was very high. The lucky ones ended up in our country, north and south.
“You Can’t Separate Juneteenth From the Call for Reparations”
Well, let’s throw them both out, then. Together.
Three of my great-great grandfathers fought for the Union.
One of them nearly died from typhus during the siege of Petersburg.
One great-great uncle and one 3 x great uncle were KIA.
I’ve done my part.
