Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), who helped lead efforts to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, said on Sunday that this year’s celebration is a moment to reflect on both the “jubilation of freedom” and the “brutality of slavery.”

“It is a moment of great emotion,” Jackson Lee told co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

She has to be the dumbest broad in Congress.

The real Juneteenth is 19 June 1953 when the Rosenbergs were executed.

There is not one person alive in the United States who owned black slaves.

This is just anti-white agitation—and true racism.

[GranTorino]

How bout the reality that white people freed the slaves.
We should be paid for our ancestors sacrifice.

[OttawaFreeper]

Just imagine what Oprah could have done with reparations.

Still looking for John Glenn’s flag with the mars rover?

This Juneteenth crap canceled out Sunday and Fathers Day too! What a joke!

Obozo is living the good life as well—at least until “climate change” drowns his island estate...

Getting to live with the fruits of a white society is your reperations.

I am laughing at all of these Father’s Day ads with black fathers and their kids.

They do exist in the real world—but are almost as rare as Unicorn sightings.

Hope everyone is enjoying this minor Texas holiday.

Juneteenth. It’s a made up old, fake Jive ass slang word. It isn’t even a word just as June 19th is a fake ass holiday created by a demented old honky pedophile just as Kwanzaa was created by an evil old woman-touring commie criminal. Nice holidays the folks came up with there.

Total racist fawning over a totally racist holiday.

Well, she is a democrat so right off the bat everyone knows she’s a racist Nazi pig.

George Floyd day.
They didn’t want to be that obvious

Hominoid==

You are giving that creature too much credit.

[hadaclueonce]

George Floyd day.
They didn’t want to be that obvious

[I want the USA back]

Of course. The day commemorating when slaves received the news that they were free was made a national holiday so as to justify reparations.

[Brandonmark]

Oh the irony!

Its another kwanzaa. An excuse to exclude anyone but blacks in the name of inclusiveness. It is used as a visual to constantly harp on slavery.

The whole world was into slavery for eons. It is not a solely American issue and many died to end the institution in our country.

Personally. I'm still waiting for a damn thank-you for my great grandfathers coming off the boat from Ireland and immediately enlisting in the Union Army to...free the slaves.
