It is not the Democratic Party today.   Again not even representing what we said. We said that the Democratic party has its roots in the KKK. For the love of God actually report what we said accurately. Not your CNN version of events. But for the record I am certain most members of the KKK probably are independent and don't associate with any party if I had to guess. Most Republicans don't associate with an organization like that either believe it or not. Cannot believe I missed this. Guy goes on a tirade, cursing, claiming the Democratic Party has roots in the KKK and then self-owns himself and admits that the KKK does not associate with the Democratic Party today. Too funny.  Happy Juneteenth, I am sure those Democratic loving KKK members truly enjoy this holiday that Democratic President made official on his watch.

    Interesting information . I’ll look into it .

    But for the record nobody in this thread wished me a happy Juneteenth when I posted a few pages back . 

    the thoughts behind many people’s words are solid around here , but the execution is terrible .

    I was wondering if the racist asshole in the Oval was going to cancel tomorrow's JUNETEENTH day of celebration or somehow impede anything related.

    It would be just like der Führer, of course, but even if he doesn't DIRECTLY, he may still mock/deride the day in some unwarranted racist transgression.....but so far I am not aware that he has

    ... not yet.

    President Biden is giving a Juneteenth celebration speech in Galveston, TX this evening.

    On the other hand, Cheez Doodle Donnie is complaining we have too many national holidays.

    It marks the date when the union army reached Galveston and basically proclaimed to, what symbolically represented the further outposts of slavery, and proclaimed that slavery had ended. When I was a kid, it was acknowledged as the date when that last enslaved people found out they were free. As an adult, I now realize this couldn't be the case. This country is vast and i'm sure there were pockets of slavery that persisted. Think of some small farmer holding a mere 100 acres in the middle of Kansas, in some corner the Union army maybe didn't come within 500 miles of. That dude is thinking, "Like hell i'm getting rid of my slaves."

    When we think of slavery, it conjurs images of huge antebellum plantations full of slaves, with stately greek-revival mansions. In reality, many slave owners owned small farms and a few slaves.

    More on Juneteeth, when you go back in the day, black people always viewed Juneteenth as more observance than a holiday. It was a cause for celebration and there were always events, but it wasn't looked upon a holiday such as Easter or the 4th of July. So seeing it as such now, seeing a bunch of middle-aged white dudes wish themselves happy Juneteenth is wild. Growing up, we never wished each other "Happy Juneteenth", even though it was a big event in my area every year. I think thst is a somewhat recent trend.

    No offense to any middle-aged white dudes. I've got love for all of you.

    In first term, taco Trump pretended to support Juneteenth.  Now instead of honoring Juneteenth, he completely ignores it.  This shows he uses a "bait and switch" strategy.  His political philosophy embraces deception, cruelty and immorality to achieve selfish goals.  Previously, Trump said he knew nothing about project 2025.  Now his administration follows its policies such as rejecting DEI, cutting medicaid and using immigration raids.

    Undoubtedly, that characteristic is part of the reason why presidential historians and other poli-sci experts rank THE CONVICTED FELON as the WORST president in US history...
