It’s a race to the bottom. Modern lefty victimhood Olympics require you to wear your oppression like a merit badge. Everyone is a loser…except DNC leadership of course, they rake in hundreds of millions off the back of your misery.

This is no different than liberal white women and their Handmaid’s Tale rape fantasies.

So Juneteenth is about gay slaves? Or is this just a celebration of the gay community prior to the Civil War?

A much more interesting reenactment is slave owner made to let them free.

They had to be awkward

Where are those mean landowners beating them ? Seems as if they should have abilities to clean up their neighborhoods with those moves

High school at Robstown Texas is proud of their football team name. "Cotton Pickers" for the last 4 generations

This would be akin to an alcoholic drinking a bottle of liquor to commemorate being sober for a year. Just doesn't make sense.

What's the issue with Civil War reenactment groups? Some of the coolest and most patriotic people I know.

Because you would have to be stupid on a level beyond human comprehension to truly believe that civil war reenactors are the same level of dumb.



I think both activities are dumb.


Keeping history alive is not dumb. It is a hobby that I do not wish to participate in but it is not dumb. You sir or madam is dumb.

Hell, reenacting a war you lost might be even dumber



How are you going to have a reenactment without people bringing both sides to life? It would look dumb as hell if people just played the winning side.

I have zero issues with them. I just think it's silly to dress up and pretend, then lie on the ground for an hour or so as a dead person.

To each their own, though.

Italians, Czechs, and other European immigrants picked cotton after The Great Migration as did other poor whites. Blacks act as though they have a monopoly on this activity.

I'm honestly embarrassed for the millions of black Americans who are supporting this fricking nonsense.

I have believed for 30-40 years that a majority of black Americans do not want to move on from the mental chains of slavery. The mental chains of slavery is the most important aspect for black Americans with regards to their place in US history. Not the great contributions black Americans have made to American culture through music, art, food, sports etc. No, let's keep the mental chains of slavery, slavery that ended 160 years ago as the most important cultural bond for black Americans.
