My perfectly ignorant take on it is that it seems like it could be a perfectly fine holiday IF:

• They celebrated it as a furthering of AMERICA’S fight against slavery and for freedom rather than separatist Black Culture and triumph over the racist white man. Take the stupid divisive parts out, emphasize the common ground. Nobody likes slavery or wants anyone else enslaved. (Biggest “duh” point we could possibly ever point out)
• It was pointed out that we are currently all debt slaves to private bankers, which similarly needs to be defeated
• They didn’t demonize the south as the bad guy and maybe pointed out how slavery continued on in the north long after the war ended, and emphasized the role of the CW, as with the American Revolution as part of a larger struggle of humanity for freedom against oppressors
• There was honesty about the specific people who actually ran the slave trade, or the fact that all people have been enslaved at some point or another, but since the same people who ran the trade write and print the history books and tv broadcasting, we know that’s not going to happen

Instead there’s no honesty, no messages of unity, no seeking of common ground, constant stress of division and tribalism…. this is the exact same way they’ve gotten the Irish and the English and the English and French to be hostile each other for centuries. Nothing to do with skin color. Deliberate construction of tribes, followed by puppet masters working toward creation of grievances and intentionally trying to exacerbate wrongs and steer away from constructive, unifying solutions.

Go figure it was made a national holiday by democrats when it does that. Slavemasters before, slavemasters now.

Any thoughts on how could we inject unifying themes into their attempts at division? Can’t fight against it, that just sets the stupid fishing hook deeper. Trump is probably after some similar objectives with what he’s doing. The goal seems to be to find the attributes that make us ALL better. Not necessarily sure how to best do that.

WWG1WGA, fren! Thoughts? Am I totally dumb, here? Quite frankly, it’s difficult to discuss stuff like this.. would be nice if the opportunities to do so were more readily available… but they intentionally make it hard, so here we are.
