It’s a celebration like many other ethnic groups have every year I don’t see the big deal. It got passed as a holiday because it would be political suicide to stand against it in today’s world for any reason. Turned out to be a shoot’em weekend with Black on Black violence in several states but little will be said about that to be PC.

The number one threat to a younger Black person is another Black person not the Cops or other ethnic groups, but this is not addressed or even talked about it’s PC to ignore the stats or be labeled racist. Everyone wants the same basic things in life from the guy on the Hill to a guy in prison but bad behaviors/expectations get in the way.

Wife was off this morning so had to go pickin huckleberries

Maybe I am just suspicious by nature.

You might check out the international Day of Heroism celebrated by the communist movement worldwide.

It happens to be June 19th

Coincidence ?

Was it Truman who said.."nothing in Washington happens by coincidence" ??

Biden dropped to his knees???? Hope somebody was near by to help him up!

Have to admit you have made me suspicious also. The whole Juneteenth name is a bit weird. Independence day is usually called the 4th of july. Cinco de Mayo is another. Why not a real date stead of Juneteenth?

You know May 5th isnt Mexican independence day right?

You usually are much more informed than this... Either that or your messing with us. Juneteenth gors back more than 150 years. Hero day is from less than 40 years ago and recognizes some latin American rebels in which almost no one observes.

I saw on Youtube this morning several people shot and a few killed at Juneteenth celebrations.

One Latino couple was dragged from their car and both executed in the street by the mob. I am guessing the MSM didn't report on that.

Can search" Salty Cracker" on YouTube or Bitchute he has the full story. Pretty graphic video he warns. His language is too colorful to post here.

I went around telling everybody it is a day to celebrate. It is the day that a Republican president and congress forced the democratic slave owners to release their slaves.

I won't recognize a holiday honoring people who are working to destroy American history. History needs to be viewed in the context of the times. Without a doubt a large percentage will be seeing new history being made. Not good if you are one of the 14 percent of the population. Any American who is black that subscribes to this BS needs to rethink their position and the motivation of those leading this movement.j

Me either.

I had never heard of it until Trump put a light on it. Nice history.

Don't see that as much different than the union soldiers who fought for and gave their lives to free those slaves. Why aren't they recognized with a holiday?

^wait a minute....are you saying the civil war was fought over the issue of slavery? I get told all the time on this forum that the civil war was about everything BUT slavery, now you're saying it actually was fought over slavery?

Unless our forefathers were cast from different dust, my guess is that the civil war was fought over a diverse set of opinions.
Same as here on this forum.

^ fair enough. But it's hard to say that union soldiers fought to free the slaves, without saying that the war was about slavery.

A lot of them fought cause they were drafted. When they got into battle they wanted to stay alive. A lot of them fought cause of loyalty to their state. There was no TV or radio and many of them couldn't read. It was the wealthy and politicians, (whose sons were exempted from military service) that had an agenda. At least for many of them. Then there were the Josey Wales fighters. (in a sense) Not supermen, just men who lost property, had female relatives raped and other injustices done to them. On both sides.

Those wealthy people (follow the leader, herd mentality) that got others to jump into combat, were trying to get wealthier.

Like I said, celebrating the end of slavery is IMO a fine thing. I was unaware it was already being done. I hope there is no truth to the rumors that there is another hidden agenda.

Yup
