re: I’ve come around on Juneteenth

I had no idea Juneteenth had anything to do with slavery. I thought it was a gay pride celebration. Honestly

MLK himself would have never approved of MLK day. That was created by welfare pimps in yet another attempt at cashing in on the man's legacy.

My issue with Juneteenth is that contrary to popular belief, the North HAD slaves too.

My issues:

1. Everyone wants to blame white people for slavery even though many (or maybe even most) blacks were sold into it by other blacks in Africa.

2. Blacks are free and have equal rights because white people gave it to them. They would still be in bondage if white people wanted it.

3. Blacks who are descendants of slaves are infinitely better off in the USA today than they would be if the slave trade had never happened. And the USA is what it is due to the bravery and ingenuity of white people.

4. White people in the USA today are worse off due to the former slave trade. Trying to integrate blacks into equal everything has come at a great cost to the white man in lives, resources, opportunities, and racial/political division.

5. The white man has put the interests of the black man ahead of his own in many, many cases. You won’t find many examples of that sort of thing happening in the history books.

6. The only reason the white man is so condemned is because when this world was about nothing but blood and conquest the white man simply had the best weapons.

This doesn’t make sense. Why would you hold onto dead bodies until the end of the voyage?

It’s been a while. I may have messed up a detail. They may have been dumping them the entire time and the sharks were in the more shallow water.

I know this is a random story on the internet. Take from it what you will. The main point was that I had heard about this tradition happening in June years before Juneteenth became well known.

Let's also add no N word spoken in June, maybe extend it beyond until it fades away completely. Words have power, both positvely and negatively. Maybe just maybe simply removing a word with such negativity attached will bring more positive outcomes over time. Surely we can have fun without it.

You are spiritually cucked by negro worship. You will never make it.

Especially since it only became this because of George Floyd.

And the exaggerated, dishonest accounts of the "Black Wall Street Massacre" in Oklahoma on June 1, 1921 that were being played up in the media the last few years. It's bullshite.

Edit: Know how I really know it's BS? Because Brandon Tatum, a conservative activist/black man and police offer from Oklahoma, had a detailed YouTube video a few years ago, dissecting the story and pointing out alleged exaggerations and lies of the mainstream narrative... I was going to link it here but the video is no longer on YouTube. If you Google anything to look for alternative accounts of it, there is NOTHING on Google. There has been a concerted effort to push one narrative, the preferred and exaggerated white aggressor-only narrative. Pathetic.
