Oh for crap sakes...they already have black history month. What other group has a WHOLE MONTH to celebrate their history?
Now that you mention this...didn’t Michelle Obama say somewhere that in her genetic background there were those who were slaves and those who owned slaves? Which meand she also must be tainted with a drop or two of whitey blood so she too would have to pay up.....
I’m in Bush Alaska- we don’t have Columbus Day- we have Chief’s day instead- usually the 2nd Friday in Dec.
A day off is a day off!
I will go along with it as long as it applies only to slaves.
So I propose every slave living in the USA be free on June 19 to do what they want.
Kill Whitey!
Honestly, I do not know.
But, I am going to start a trend.
Anytime anything happens, it is Obamas fault.
The gays. They have a Pride Month too.
Obama wouldn’t receive any reparations, his half arab/half African dad wasn’t born or enslaved in AmeriKKKa.
Barry HAS already tried to claim his children as the “descendents of slaves” (through his wife’s side of the family tree).
Wait’ll you get Ramadan off! A whole month!
John Conyers has already stated that reparations will move to the front burner should Obama be elected.
And his relatives are still in Africa and were never slaves.
I wonder if his relatives sold Africans to white men.
“Heck, why not just take all of Black History Month off!”
Well, actually, many of “the brothers” already do. In fact many of them take the whole year off.
Not to mention the decade.
His relatives may have sold African’s to other African’s....
Silly me..I forgot about that...
I read that in an article which I printed out and is in my “ stack of stuff” now if I could just find it to ref..where is Snerdly when I need him!
That’s what I am wondering.
Maybe you could search the Obama Truth Files. I seem to remember this, too.
good point.
his relatives were muslims.
muslims were the slave traders.
on another note....
didn’t we promise them 40 acres and a mule? I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it was more than we promised the Natives.
I LOVE your comment!
Juneteeth is a real holiday—in Texas and reflects a real event rather than some made up Kawanza thing. Does that mean we can get rid on MLK Day now? How about a Holiday for Native Americans? Talk about a people who really suffered. Why not Victory Day—June 25th the day Native Americans beat Custer at Little Big Horn?
