The rest of you complaining because you can’t relate, do you, I’m doing me. (meaning each person has to do what's best for them, do what you enjoy most, or what suits your personality) WTF are you talking about? My family is from China. They probably go back to the Ming dynasty. That doesn't mean I can relate to ancient China. How many generations are you removed from anyone who had anything to do with slavery?

Maximum Overkill 1,408 Posted June 19 8 hours ago, MDC said: 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
