I guess my humor was not clear—having a holiday where Evil Whitey has to slave away and the Royal Black folk get it off...
Of course no matter how much I ridicule the left, eventually they prove they are wackier than even I thought they would be...
More pandering to the black community
Will someone please explain to me how you come up with a name like juneteenth? Maybe it was the same person that invented kwansaa and all of those names like Shaquanda or Quinquanda.
“We can’t bring back President Lincoln’s Birthday as a federal holiday...”
I confess I do not know when slavery officially ended in the U.S. I know the 13th Amendment did end it, but I don’t know whether or not if all Union slave states, MO, KY, DE, MD, WVA had freed their slaves prior to the 13th’s taking effect.
Logically it would make more sense to celebrate when slavery actually ended rather than when some Texas slaves learned about it, but logic is not really part of the process, is it.
You’re correct on Lincoln’s birthday not being a nation holiday, that was President Washington’s birthday that was. I grew up in Indiana where we had Lincoln’s birthday as a school holiday, since he spent his youth here in Indiana. I think Illinois, back then in the 50s and 60s also had Lincoln’s birthday as a state holiday.
Ok. How many readers does Time have?
4? 8?
another federal holiday??

Except it’s not a real holiday. January 1, 1863 is the real holiday and is the day freed blacks originally celebrated in much of the South.
Popularly elected pubbies over folded on Motor Voter too. We can thank them in no small part for the 2020 mess. But hey, I'm sure their support for motor voter helped them get reelected.
