Juneteenth to be declared national holiday - We wuz slaves n sheet

[Blake Chortles]

Yes I think black people care quite a bit that they're not enslaved

They arent enslaved whether we had this holiday or not.

They arent enslaved whether we had this holiday or not.

They were though which is the whole point.

Imagine being so anal about your ancestors being enslaved that your race collectively still holds a grudge hundreds of years later against people who literally have nothing to do with what centuries-dead corpses did and demanding so much free shit for stupid shit they do in the present day.

Like a holiday named by some retard fifteen year old or something.

Why in the fuck would anybody be mad at celebrating the abolition of slavery? It's kind of a big deal.

Because it's not about the abolition of slavery, otherwise it'd be on the day of Lincoln's emancipation. It's just going to be used to hammer home the retarded "collective white guilt" narrative and, ultimately, "reparations", which is pretty much a guarantee at this point.

I mean its like me getting bent out of shape about european nobles oppressing my peasant ancestors more recently than black people being enslaved.

The dilemma today is insane.

Nobody involved was enslaved and no one involved enslaved people. If its visceral and emotional for you its because you are mentally ill or manipulative.

Well that's why there's shit like Bastille Day. Freedom is worth celebrating and it's kind of fucked up you're so fragile you're taking this as some kind of attack.

I doubt too many people are actually against recognizing the abolition of slavery. Gonna say the wonky name and the date are probably what are causing most of the mockery/etc. I suppose this represents emancipation in Texas, but it doesn't seem widely recognized anywhere else and the US is a country of 50 states. September 22nd would probably be the most logical date. Regardless, yeah, I agree it's not a huge fucking deal either way. If this represents the kinds of things Biden is doing, it doesn't seem like his mandate, political capital is as strong as people portray it.

Aaaand you're more or less proving why lots of people think this is retarded. Immediately thinking someone is "fucked up" (racist?) because a holiday nobody heard of outside of Texas two years ago is now all of the sudden a free day off.

I mean fuck, you could make a stronger case for Kwanzaa being an official holiday.

 

[Toolbox]

You think thats what this is about? Neither side knows or cares about that aspect.

The left will act like that's the point for a few years before completely making it about critical race exceptionalistic bs.

I'm pretty sure slavery was abolished in December. Juneteenth was just the day that Texas was told about it. It would make more sense to celebrate the ratification of the 13th amendment.

But you are a racist.

 

[AnOminous]

Despite being 13% of the population, blacks make up 100% of this lawyers clients. This is America.

The fact that all this guy's clients are in prison isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of his skills.

I heard of this at least 20 years ago.

he's a lawyer not a miracle worker

 

[Starscreams Cape]

But you are a racist.

But I have black friends.

 

[Dyn]

But I have black friends.

Then why had you never heard of Juneteeth before Sleepy Joe made it a holiday?

 

[Starscreams Cape]

Then why had you never heard of Juneteeth before Sleepy Joe made it a holiday?

I don't live in Texas.

 

[Dyn]

I don't live in Texas.

Black people celebrate Juneteenth all over the country how have you never been invited to a teenth cookout for some bbq?

 

[X Prime]

Because his friends are black due to BBQing them.

He's a cannibal you see.
