A very good reason not to celebrate my birthday, ever again!

Juneteenth is followed by Who’s Your Daddy Day.

Juneteenth should also be a memorial day for those who lost their lives in the Civil War.

Yup! First thought that came into my little pea brain. The rosenbergs execution. Still think the majority never knew what this was until a few days ago. Some probably still have no clue. Next up for fed holiday——kwanza.

The left calls it independence day, as if to replace July 4.

Replace our July 4th? A little more like that and I'll be seething with patriotic anger.

The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in states that were in armed rebellion with the USA.

If one reads the proclamation, it also list exceptions.

Great iconic photo of the shirtless person of color with his hammer.......


Thanks for posting that.

It symbolizes the entire Dem-BLM-Antifa-Communist movement.

If you show that to the wimpy young people what do they say?

We used to deal with criminals like that. Now they get book deals, TV gigs etc.

You are correct about the attempt to minimize the attention that will be given to the Republican party. So the way to speak of Juneteenth is to emphasize and celebrate the Republican party.

“Juneteenth is the much delayed day the people of Galveston found out that Republican party president Lincoln freed slaves in Texas two years earlier.”

“The proclamation was made by soldiers who arrived at Galveston and were overwhelmingly Republicans who voted to keep Lincoln in office the previous year”

“In 1865 it was Republican policy to end slavery. We celebrate Juneteenth as one of many events in which Republicans fulfilled their promise to end slavery against the active opposition of Democrats.”

So does this weekend. It’s called Father’s Day. That day annoys certain communities so they are trying to overshadow it.

A great day. Another republican victory over racist Democrats. Go out and get the Trump vaccine and rub it in their faces.

When Father's Day falls on June 19th then you can celebrate what you wing.

Good tweet by Allen West.

But, Juneteenth was only about Texas.

The last state to free the slaves was DELAWARE on Dec. 6, that same year.

Did Biden mention that about his state?
