I made a thread the other day about Juneteenth that got some criticism.

But anyone who pays attention, knows what the whole Juneteenth thing is really about. It's obviously a reaction and outgrowth of the George Floyd/BLM uprisings from 2020. As had been mentioned, no one even knew about this Juneteenth until a few years ago, and now all the sudden we have to do some sort of forced celebration about it.

But here is an example of how I see this holiday. I was at a restaurant on 6/19 with my family. And ESPN was on. They had some commercial celebrating Juneteenth, and it was basically a montage of modern black people raising their fists, protesting for George Floyd and people in "don't breathe masks", as well as left wing activists like Ibram X Kindi in the commercial. The day is clearly meant to be another promotion of the Democrat party and an opportunity to grow left wing activism. That's it.

The only issues they may have screwed up on, is the date. June is already swallowed whole by the rainbow people, and all the kids are out of school so won't even know about it or won't have to be force-fed more white guilt propaganda.

LMAO...do you realize why the day of June 19th was picked and that it was first celebrated in the 1860's?

I understand why most people have never heard of it. It's not taught in school, it's not something you'd get introduced to unless you were part of that community. but Geeesh common on man.
