Gay Pride and BLM masses are OK in Gregory’s archdiocese.
But heaven help any priest who tries to offer a TLM in one of his parish churches.

There’s plenty of peoples to point fingers. I had one ancestor from Scotland that was an indentured servant. Thanks England, it weighs on me everyday. I don’t know how I function. /s

True enough but the proclamation was issued in January 1863. The war was still raging at that time.

How about a day to celebrate the Bataan Death March? Or one to celebrate Lindbergh’s flight? Or how about a flight over the North Pole. Or maybe a national celebration for the creation of the midget watermelon. Or first patent for a toenail clipper?

All good ideas.
Juneteemph is really a celebration of something White people did, at their own expense in blood and treasure, for other people, with no expectation of repayment.

They suggest over 50 million Africans were shipped out during the Atlantic trade alone.
Air freight? Alien transporters? Submarines?
Considering there were a total (high estimate) of 36,000 slaver voyages over the entire period of transatlantic slave trade, I'm not sure how they think there were 1400 slaves on each ship.
Unless, of course, they are thinking about the number of Africans killed in the translantic slave trade, which would then include the 5-9 times number of slaves who died inland on the way the coast for shipment to the Americas.
