Tommy Callahan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) its interesting to see the corporate and Limousine liberals hijacking Juneteenth. Wonder if they even realize the best part is after hours. you know, when they run back to the enclaves. Been going to it for decades. Always been a local event. the date/naming is interesting though. Thats like NY not celebrating July fourth, till November 3rd to mark the end of the war. or maybe November 3rd as that's when the enemy stopped occupying NY.

A victory over those who were so racist they would fight and die to keep slavery legal and try to expand it across the country and continent. Glory to the Union army for bringing freedom to the south and starting a reformation in regards to how we view our human family. https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/historical-legacy-juneteenth On “Freedom’s Eve,” or the eve of January 1, 1863, the first Watch Night services took place. On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States. But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas. Now do the the glorious Union army and the Apache 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Callahan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 So do the suburban lefties actually come down to the hood to have said celebration. Or have they just hijacked it and created a new one in less diverse areas? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company which supplies the hardware that keeps Ukraine in the fight and occasionally serves Americans too, is backward racially though ver forward thinking when it comes to lgbtqia2s+ or whatever acronym Trudeau could not spit out yesterday. Anyway, it sounds very nice. Please promise that you will take precautions. You are likely to encounter black Americans. As we all know, that is a group with significant vaccine hesitancy. I’m not worried about you getting deadly coronavirus from them but per your description these people are stupid and selfish.
