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.
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.
What's the TLDR on this one?
