Question for those who celebrate "Juneteenth"
Underrated Question
How are you going to celebrate the end of slavery when the federal reserve still exists?
One of the things I find so strange about Juneteenth is this.
Republican President Abraham Lincoln announced the end of slavery via his Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. This is the Date slaves were set free. We fought a civil war over this issue. The proclamation was officially announce midway through that war.
"Juneteenth" is a date some 2 and a half years later that commemorates freedom from slavery. Apparently, it's when some troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to re-declare what Lincoln said two and a half years earlier.
Wouldn' the correct date for Freedom From Slavery be New Year's Day? We celebrate July 4th and 1776 as our nation's birth date because the DECISION to start a new country was made on that day. We still had to fight the entire Revolutionary War after that date and had to write our Constitution twice, and draft dozens of amendments to get it right.
But, it's the day the decision is made that is the Date that matters.
I wonder if "Juneteenth" is just an effort to make sure people forget Republican Abraham Lincoln Freed the slaves?
It seems very similar to the 1619 project or whatever the hell date the New York Times came up with for the start of our country.
The Commie Left are purposely trying to rewrite history to Remove our history. Same with taking down our monuments. This woke shit is going way too far. It needs to be nipped wherever it buds.
I think it’s to cause racial division and to diminish fathers day.
I agree with that. It sure seems like a totally fake holiday to me, designed to create division.
The irony is that Juneteenth celebrates the END of Slavery, but it is soaked deep in the message that black Americans are still slaves. That's bullshit.
The slaves today (of all racial backgrounds and ethnicities) are those who believe everything the MSM says. Everything Big Tech says. Everything that Big Pharma and Medicine say. Everything that woke teachers indoctrinate with. Everything that Commie Dems and RINOs say.
Slavery is real, but it's all about mental slavery today. Far too many people buy into the trash placed in their heads.
All they need to do is wake up and realize they are FREE.
Free to think what they want. Free to say what they want. Free to be who they want to be. Free to set whatever goals they want. Free to pursue those goals. Free to stand up for themselves. Free to help others. Free to make a positive difference. Free to keep on getting up. Free to keep on going.
It is 100% Mindset.
Yup and the irony of Juneteenth being on father’s day is that single parent homes are the biggest problem in black America today. I saw lots of woke people virtue signaling about black people without addressing this current issue.
Broken families + welfare = cultural decay. LBJ and the Dems in addition to CIA crack destroyed a good portion of black America.
They are still slave, same as all of us.
I think they needed that date for some ritual.... boom Juneteenth
Division maybe...diminish Father's Day, DEFINITELY. Libtards generally hate whole families, with two hetero parents at the lead. Juneteenth will typically fall around Father's Day...and I'm sure that's by design.
Everyone needs to read every word of the Emancipation Proclamation. It did not free all the slaves. It only punished the Southern states who seceded. Slaves were not freed in a number of places, such as Norfolk, VA and New Orleans.
I have yet to find a single black person who has ever actually read the document. They have no clue what is in the document they believe is so important.
Most also do not know that the Confederacy abolished the overseas slave trade after its founding either.
They're free slaves now.... just like us
What's the TLDR on this one?
Thanks u/PepeSee 👈🏻
Even fewer understand what Lincoln wanted to do with all black folks. The "great emancipator" didn't give two shits about freeing slaves for any reason other than to hurt the south's war efforts. I'm heading out the door so no time to get the sauce but the gist was send them all back to Africa.
Juneteenth has pmuch just been a Texas holiday forever. Because they figured out the war ended later than everyone else. As just a Texas thing I never really saw an issue with it. But when they randomly blew it up into this national thing and made it a federal holiday, that's where it's like fuck off.
Colored people time
If leftists were consistent there wouldn't be any in power.
