Is Juneteenth still a go?
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
How can citizens of foreign states commit treason against the USA? Are you sure you know what treason means?
What’s weird is that something akin to Juneteenth commemorating the end of the civil war actually makes more sense than, say, Columbus Day, Labor Day, or even mlk day.
Fine, put them all up in a park titled "Traitor Row". Given where we are at now by the fourth year there will be serious discussion to replace Lincoln with Lee at the Lincoln memorial.
It began in Texas as a commemorative day to celebrate when slaves in Texas finally learned of the Emancipation Proclamation and thus their freedom - not the end of the Civil War.
If they were truly trying to remember sons of the confederacy than the statues would have just been giant white flags.
Instead they built statues trying to honor losers as a big middle finger to the black people that live in those cities and states.
Because without statues of traitors we will forget? Derp
Put up whatever woke statues you want, but leave the existing ones alone.
Juneteenth is my wedding anniversary, to my trophy wife. Very important date and acts as a reminder of one of my great decisions in life...
We're you offended all of those years prior to when those bases carried those Confederate names before the White guilt movement was established?
Why all of the sudden the change of heart when these statues have been standing in the public squares for decades?
Yup, the preserving history angle is all a canard. They were commissioned and installed as a show of racist force and as a finger in the eye of blacks still in the South.
The Lost Cause can be learned about in a myriad of ways, allow the residents of these communities to continue to vote theses monuments of hatred into history.
