There seems to be a selective amnesia about the crimes against native America.

Is that because they have been reduced to an insignificant voting block by white men?

We can't celebrate one group of people because other people also should be celebrated.

Yah, indigenous peoples day already exists.

 

[ll74]

No problems here. It was a "mostly peaceful" celebration...

So nobody shot anyone at your Juneteenth party? That's good

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Again, you and your buddy are making my point for me.

Do you consider slavery worse than genocide?

You're conflating two things to try and make a stupid and racist statement.

Remembering the plight of slavery and the people who went through it along with their freedom it is what the holiday is about. Sorry that you need to make it about something else because it makes you mad to recognize anyone that isn't important to you.

All I'm hear is preaching from atop Mt. White Privilege.

I'm not your choir. I'm one of your victims.

You don't believe a holiday is deserved because there are people who did some crime who are black.

It's about slavery....sorry you don't like that.

Drink!

 

[jomar]

It's the wrong day named with a bullshit, bastardized, English language contraction. That's it, end of discussion.

Oh, Spearchucker, you do go on.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Drink!

White people don't make threads about feeling marginalized in such a way.

Racist white people do.

It only took a day later, but AJ finally came through with the morning delivery to help catch the ball his buddy Ish threw in the air yesterday!

Whew! I was gettin' a lil' worried, there!

The Black Community has a month dedicated to them and two National Holidays. The American Native has the day after Thanksgiving devoted to them. That's a tragic irony after the genocides of the tribes.

Your calendar is defective.

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. The second Monday of October is Indigenous People’s Day. And November is American Indian Heritage Month.

Hey, AJ! Did you catch this?

You guys' heritage n' history was all good in bein' acknowledged by our country in order to learn about an' celebrate it!

I'm so happy for you, my native brother! So! What did you do during November of last year or the years before to celebrate it? Make any threads about it? Share any family stories about the history and how important it is to this nation's cultural fabric?

AJ?

AJ, you still there?

hello?

Also:

American Indians have received three types of reparations: (1) cash payments, through the operation of the Indian Claims Commission and the U.S. Court of Claims; (2) land, through an occasional action of Congress to return control over land to particular tribes; and (3) tribal recognition, by either Congress or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The first of these has been the least satisfactory, measured by long-term impact on Indian communities. The second was more satisfactory, but has been experienced by very few tribes. The third, which is in process now, has had the best results.

Having a day or a month is nice, but reparations in all its forms is the gold standard.

Hope that ^ helps.

worthless, meaningless, holiday to those of you celebrating this farce. Christ on a crutch, the very name bespeaks ignorance.

I gotta give it to Ish, he never ceases too amaze with his ignorance or racism.

I think the funniest argument he made was that Juneteenth is a contraction. I'm sure he will be posting that Christmas is a stupid holiday as well since it's not only a contraction, but Christ wasn't really born on that date.

The most racist argument he made was that we already celebrate memorial day, (which of course is to celebrate U.S. soldiers who died in ALL the wars we've ever fought and not just the civil war) even though those soldiers were almost all white and does nothing to honor the end of slavery for people of color who were the actual victims of slavery.

He's such a sad, petty excuse for a man. And for the record, I'm not referring to his erectile dysfunction problems which were disclosed by a woman on this board that he unsuccessfully attempted to dominate.

Joe Biden declared June 19 a federal holiday on June 17, 2021. It was a political pander by Biden — the champion presidential panderer in history. There isn’t a Democratic Party interest group that won’t have its own day or month by the time Biden leaves office and Juneteenth was already being recognized by black people, so making it a national holiday was a no-brainer.

Juneteenth celebrates a day when Union General Gordon Granger proclaimed freedom for the slaves in Texas. Rarely mentioned is that since the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, already freed the slaves in rebel-held territory — including Texas — Granger’s edict was totally unnecessary.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politi...aming-juneteenth-has-been-a-disaster-n1704278

Except if course that the slaves in Texas still didn't know about and juneteenth celebrates them actually finding out that they were free, even if it was after the emancipation proclamation.

Instead of supporting the bullshit CRT narrative you might be better off actually learning about black history.

Just sayin'

 

[Veroe]

Again, you and your buddy are making my point for me.

I would say that it really doesn't matter which is worse than the other. That's like trying to choose between gettng a trepanning or a lobotomy...you don't want either. The truth is both slavery and genocide are pretty bad, and let's not have either ever happen again in this country to anyone, Okay?

Holidays and customs don’t always happen completely “rationally.” The Declaration of Independence was actually passed on July 2, which is the date John Adams initially thought would become the celebration. Celebration of the emancipation in Galveston by Granger on June 19 happened organically in Texas for obvious reasons and spread from there to become the focal point for memorializing emancipation. It’s not “wrong,” it’s just how customs develop. This is similar to how we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on the date of the actual first Thanksgiving—customs take different channels.

This also applies to the reasons why we celebrate.

For instance we commemorate Dec 7, 1941 as a day which will live in infamy but (without goggle's help) can anyone tell me what day is set for our celebration of the official end of WWII?

(Hint: VE day was May 8, 1945.)

The point of holidays isn't that we have holidays or whether the days we celebrate those holidays is or isn't on the date the event happened. The point is remembrance and what we choose to remember.

BUT...That's only the end of the war in Europe. The war in the Pacific did not end until September 2. 1945.

So what day of the calendar did we set aside to celebrate that?

 

[TrailerHitch]

So what day of the calendar did we set aside to celebrate that?

Is there a day set aside for the end of the Korean War? Invalid question since it was never a declared war and never officially ended. How about the Viet Nam War? Grenada? Desert Storm? Afghanistan? Or any number of other conflicts since WWII...

Let me ask you this question, and I mean it sincerely. How does having Juneteenth as a celebration of the end of slavery hurt you? Because it certainly doesn't hurt me to have others celebrate milestones in their history.

Celebrating the end of slavery seems to be a no brainier as an American.

But it apparently hurts some kids.
