Juneteenth

[Conager]

Hilarious. RacistDownSouth pretending to be Canadian Skiddles who claims to have no passport is voicing Skiddles in saying he's heard of it, which is likely true since Texas has a fairly consistent history with it and it is based on events that transpired in Texas.

As to Obama, his statement barely acknowledging its existence was not what activists had requested of him every year of his presidency.

“When President Obama was a state senator in Illinois, he supported legislation to officially recognize Juneteenth in 2003. And when he was a U.S. senator, he sponsored legislation to recognize Juneteenth in the U.S. Senate in 2006. But he hasn’t issued a proclamation to make Juneteenth Independence Day a National Day of Observance as president or held a Juneteenth celebration at the White House. I don’t know why since the White House was built by slaves.”

While Obama did not issue a proclamation, he did issue a statement on June 19, 2015 supporting the observance of Juneteenth which was posted on the White House website.

He finally issued a formal proclamation in 2016 on his way out the door.

ConMan conveniently overlooked my post.

Everyone overlooks your posts, "Dom."

Few want to acknowledge the existence of anyone with either numbers or "dom" in their username. It's a stain on the forum.

My threads get more views and replies than yours, ConMan.

 

[Conager]

You have threads, "Dom?"

That oughta be interesting.

 

[Rotadom]

Nice deflection, Connie.

 

[Conager]

Ok, Dominique.

Yup, I heard of it and I live in Canada. Ain't that something little queerbait?

I'm glad you dont deny your disdain for blacks. You fit in well with the other trumpettes.

Is the failed, made-up holiday of Kwanzaa going to be a thing this year, or will it be dropped like all of other get-out-the-black-vote-but-not-for-the-increasingly-popular-Trump efforts after November 4th?

I wonder if Nancy will be wearing her juneteenth garb?

 

[Conager]

Where are the parades, the celebrations the costumes?

It's going to be hilarious watching all of the progressives plan for it next year awkwardly trying to figure out what it's about and how they're supposed to celebrate it. For that matter I don't see how they get out of celebrating Kwanzaa this year; they're going to have to read up.

It's like all the people that think Cinco de Mayo is an actual, Mexican holiday or that fortune cookies are Chinese.

I think in the future it will be celebrated on about June 13th. Not as a celibration of when slaves in Texas learned about their emancipation by the first Republican POTUS, but the "teenth" day they learned there was such a holiday to be outraged at Trump about.

 

[Rotadom]

Ok, Dominique.

Anything else I can educate on, Connie?

 

[BrokenBarbie]

wow. it's almost as if there is an entirely separate (but unequal) culture going on in the u s that white people are unaware of. why IS this the first time YOU ever heard of it?

It’s not polite to answer a question with a question.

My guess would be that you're a racist asshat who couldn't care less about it and therefore never heard of something that has been around for several decades at least, has it's own flag and is mentioned by the White House every year.

Did you flip a coin when deciding whether to educate or attack, or are you just a tool naturally?

Wasting energy on hatred is pointless, especially when it’s someone asking a legitimate question.

I don’t celebrate Passover either, or even know what they’re celebrating, but that doesn’t make me a Nazi.

Your comment perfectly illustrates the effect institutional racism has on society. White culture dominates society to such an extent that perhaps the most important day in black American history is unknown to you. It's very similar to how people don't know what Kwanzaa is or belittle its significance.

Thanks for your help in highlighting the issue.

If it did that for someone, great.

I just wonder if it’s simply a means of manipulation, this new found ambition for taking it mainstream.

Battle of Pueblo, I believe...

But you knew it was not only a Holiday but you knew it was a Jewish Holiday.

I’m from Miami, it’s where they go to die. I also know a lot about Cuba.

Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell HeatherGavager.

 

[jaF0]

As your President, I will only officially acknowledge Memorial Day, the Fourth Of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day.


Vote for me.

Vote often.

Ask no questions.

Also? Sounds like you don't know a whole lot about much.

No way to get out of Kwanzaa now. Looks like the house dems are going to be partying hardy next year, combine that with impeachment and dai aisn't gonna git nottun done.

When I don’t know I ask.

It’s up to others to decide where it goes from there.

This thread, for instance, says more about some others than it does about me.

Not hardly.

Way to dom, "Dom."

Way to troll, Troll.

Never heard of it...

I have to admit I never heard about it either. Is that to celebrate the fact that after thousands of years of slavery being a normal practice in cultures all around the world that white northerners proclaimed that it was an abomination and many of them fought and died and passed legislation to stop the democrats that promoted slavery?

Funny. You admit to being ignorant and then take a jab at Democrats.

My recently acquired understanding is that it was exactly that. A celebration of the new found freedom that they got as a direct result of the first Republican president.

Trump should have held the rally today and invoked Lincoln.
