Happy Juneteenth everyone

Recommended Posts

Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.[8][9]Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865.

:thumbsup:

It’s not accurate and also your response to @peenie is racist as well. Lots of bigotry in this forum. 

And you have an innate ability to misinterpret humor. Your mental acumen has all the speed & agility of a tectonic plate.

I enjoy good humor. Bad, terrible unfunny attempts at humor is a different story. But cheer up, there may be a job waiting for you at the Babylon Bee.

This is so far over Timmy's tiny brain he can't compute.

This kind of Timmy talk didn't start happening until the last 15 years of liberal lunacy started occurring. Obama was the #1 worst president of all time. Creepy joe will soon be gone and a some executive orders can be used to reverse all the shlt that he did, but obama destroyed the minds of the weak in this country something bad. Liberals will never mentally recover. 

This might be the best post I’ve ever read in this forum.  👍

This is a great white mans holiday.

It's the day a white man served papers to another white man, enforcing new laws after hundreds of thousands of white men died.

Be sure to thank a white man today for the preservation of the Union and black people should thank us for being one of the first countries in the history of the world to abolish slavery. 

 

In 1803, Denmark-Norway became the first nation in Europe to ban the African slave trade. Haiti formally proclaimed autonomy from France in 1804 and became the first sovereign nation to permanently ban slavery and the slave trade from the first day of its existence.

I’m sort of surprised Trump didn’t do away with Juneteenth.

He is still too busy going after the brown people, he will probably antagonize the black folks next year on this date.

Uh-oh. Squis dropping Sesame Street links.

Few things trigger MAGA so intensely as Sesame Street. Small, colored people treating each other with dignity while also educating really pisses them off. It runs totally counter to their most foundational core values.

Charlie Kirk has gone full racist I guess.

@RaiderHaters Revenge’ boy puts him in his place.

Here is what Kirk said in your link:

Quote

Juneteenth should not be a federal holiday.

That is full racist?  :unsure:

Not really no. It was an ugly and stupid statement by @EternalShinyAndChrome a year ago, and it hasn’t gotten any better. Your comment isn’t interesting either. 

Poor tim1 is hurting. 😆
