It’s pathetic how the maga worms on this website never have anything to say when it comes to this bullshyt

And here are the tangibles y'all asked for

No.

We asked why we got to stand in line without water to vote for ppl who weren't going to do anything for us.

We never said vote for the other side.

Republicans in the state of Georgia put a lock box on the post office. For a gazillion years, you could walk inside the facility and drop your mail in the box. These state Republican had black workers at YOUR local post office lock the doors so you couldn't do that any more. You want to blame somebody, blame the black postal workers for not fighting the good fight!

I read somewhere that some republicans states have General Lee day as an official states holiday on MLK day. Need to leave the farm and go down south so that we can celebrate big ole Lee with our people

I mean Black Americans didn’t really ask for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. Only Black Americans from Texas celebrated it and when it became a national holiday, you got clowns from other countries celebrating it and claiming it as apart of their own culture and history.

And they also gave us MLK Day, as a reminder of his role in integrating us with them. They like quoting how MLK wanted peace, but they don’t like talking about how MLK were talking about reparations and how he felt like he was leading his people into a burning house when talking about integration.

All because she washes her collard greens in the bathtub.

I mean... that was a terrible ass thing to say. She was doing too much with that answer thinking she can "relate". That's why I don't eat people's dishes like that. Eating greens from someone's nasty ass tub.

Big momma would never.

Pretty sure they're going to remove them as federal holidays too?

I can't wait to see the mental gymnastics deployed to justify having to go to work when you previously didn't have to.

People in other countries celebrate Juneteenth?

Or do you mean that US citizens celebrate it, just like some people celebrate Cinco de mayo, puerto rican day parade, West Indian carnival or anything possible to celebrate with their fellow Americans

This is not true. For decades, Juneteenth has always been celebrated EXCLUSIVELY among Black Americans and at times other Black ethnicities, nationwide. In smaller instances, in Black neighborhoods, local Black churches, etc, would have events such as block parties, cookouts, face painting, music, etc.

The national holiday was intended to bring recognition to outsiders (Whites, Latinos, Asians, etc.) who may have been unaware of such a celebration's existence and potentially want to learn more. Obviously, the holiday may seem “new” to outside groups because it has no cultural significance to them, and as I stated, covertly and overtly, of course cacs aren't interested in celebrating or recognizing a day in which Black people were no longer slaves to them, as it's too morally conflicting for their subconscious to handle.

Although it has only been recognized as a national holiday for a few years, it has long been celebrated and acknowledged among Black people. It's not some new phenomenon, or rather creation, that people like yourself make it out to be. Sometimes y'all be exposing how disconnected you are from Black people and Black History. If you are indeed Black, it's a disservice to yourself to be culturally ignorant of your own existence.
