“JUNETEENTH”; just another example of IGNORANT BLACKS not even being able to identify a normal day of a month.

Precisely just what day is “Juneteenth”, is it the 13th or is it the 18th?

Enquiring minds want to know!

I realize that in their native Africa they probably never used an actual calendar, but these people have been here as long as WHITE people, they should know by now!

I guess the blacks and the democrats are really lucky that those Union REPUBLICAN soldiers didn’t wait until June 20th or the 23rd to tell all the people there that they were free.

It would have been really awkward to try to put a date like that into “EBONICS” or baby talk!

I would like to address an issue with my own post there.

One aspect of the growing population, is that the
descendants of the slave owners did grow as well while
the population as a whole was growing.

I think it’s safe to say the percentage of Americans who
were related to slave owners probably did remain about
the same percentage as it was in the day.

I neglected to take that into account when I was trying
to work those figures out in my head, and I believe I
was in error when I was stating the figure would drop
much lower than that percentage over time.

Sorry about that.

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.
