This is a case of the feds politicizing a state holiday that no one ever had any problem with in Texas where it meant something.
Oh, and if you think things went badly, wait till next year. They only had one day to prepare for it this year.
Paraphrasing Marcus Aurtelius as quoted by Hannibal Lecter to Clarisse Starling: “Of each thing ask: What is it in itself; what is its nature”?
Dogs bark, jackasses bray, snakes bite, Democrats lie, and Urban Ferals gotta feral...Because it is in their nature to do so...Not hard to understand...
And yet some wonder how and why some cultures disappear.
Hardly anybody ever heard of it and hardly anybody ever cared about it. The entire celebration is a nothingburger. At the most it might be celebrated in a small corner of Texas but not our entire country.
Unfortunate. Perhaps it should have been anticipated when an event celebrating black emancipation attracts large groups of blacks gathering. Inevitably young males who are not properly socialized will get into disagreements which may end in violence. Short tempers with no concept of self discipline rules the day.
You quote Ben Shapiro nicely.
Ben Shapiro
Neocon of neocon nevertrumper
Y’all can have him
Of course he now lives...
No fooling....so I hear
Within a few miles of me ....imagine Jersey boy
He has to drive by Carnton House, Chip the CSA memorial at the square, and all the other civil war CSA stuff
You have to wonder why he chose to flee California for here....surrounded by stuff he like you jamac...derides daily
According to uhaul....we are the largest repository of Kali refugees...I know plenty...they seem honestly genuine and I tell them please don’t apologize and welcome here
But Shapiro ...nope
The nevertrumper screed he can’t resist ...his tepid support when he found himself boxed in notwithstanding .
Shapiro should have gone to Kansas...he could have hanged with your old homey non sequitur
Well he’s here now....I’ll be polite lol
Exactly. A more accurate name for the new holiday might be Juneteenth National Black Fathers' Independence From Raising Their Own Children Day...
Can anyone direct me please to the Declaration of Independence of Negro slaves, on June 19th and does anyone know who signed this document and what became of those who signed. ? Frederick Douglass said that ultimately it was the negro slaves who would need to raise up against their slave holders..not not wait for some other culture to come and set them free.
They are pretty much just killing each other, as long as it’s blacks killing blacks I just say give them more ammo!
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
