Clearly white supremacy is to blame

Well of course.
You knew that before watching.

Juneteenth is nothing more than another “Lootin’ and Shootin’” day.

Uh no! Margaritas > Malt Liquor.

That right there's funny I don't care who you are.

Hell if we get it off, I'll take it and salute Grant and the freed slaves while drinking a beer with the other hand, we actually had a tech send an email on Friday questioning why they had to work on a federal holiday. Her pharmacy manager reminded her that there are several federal holidays that we don't get off....MLK Jr Day, President's Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day and that Juneteenth was only approved one day prior and we review holiday schedules once a year.

I thought the "n-word" wasn't to be used. I'm pretty sure I heard it in this video. Hmmmm.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

Happy Juneteenth!

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Happy Juneteenth!

It's actually an old tradition that's on steroids now.

Couple Pulled From Car and Shot in Chicago! (VIDEO)

This happened in Humboldt Park Chicago last night. A Latino couple displaying a Puerto Rican flag on their car was pulled out of their car and shot.

Another mostly peaceful Juneteenth encounter.

Wait, you go to McDonald's often enough for them to know your order?

Don't you mock McGriddles. Little pockets of happiness that brighten my morning, dammit.

 

[Weezer]

I can smell your McGriddle farts from here, you liar.

I told you not to mock them!! Pick your Waffle House.

Never had one of those in my life.

Same thing happens on July 4th with White people. We get together with family and friends, grill out, shoot fireworks, then shoot each other over trivial squabbles like "Honkey stepped on my New Balances!"

They definitely are….. it’s why I use to be a republican….. even if I didn’t agree with them…..they at least stood for something…… Democrats pretend that stand for things but really stand for nothing but power and votes….Democrats are very divisive and tearing America apart.

I think there are plenty of moderate Democrats that really don’t like the progressives. They don’t embody what moderate dems believe.

 

[LouderVol]

75 million say you’re wrong.

81 million say I am right.

 

[LouderVol]

We have a day now to preach about something that ended 150 years ago. Let’s move on the other 364.

We have a day that preaches about something that happened 225 years ago. I dont see you calling for an end of that.

Heck we celebrate Thanksgiving and that was likely bs from the get go 300 years ago. I guess that's another one the modern man doesnt need.

Memorial day no longer covers anyone who died during or before the Civil war.

We are getting rid of holidays left and right.

 

[LouderVol]

So you like second place/participation trophies?

The slaves werent slaves because they were winners.....so....

And juneteenth isnt a celebration of a successful slave revolt.

 

[LouderVol]

Sure I'm willing to accord blame and success the same way in each case. The president doesn't run congress - it's that simple. Some presidents worked better with congress than others, but the way the two parties are diverging there's less and less chance of a president doing well with congress unless everything goes wildly in one direction, and that doesn't seem likely. Dems tend to stick together better, so they have a better chance of running the table - like obama's first season.

Did you happen to notice that when election season rolled around how the summer riots stopped? Almost like dems pulled some strings, got people off the street, and no longer looked like radicals bent on burning the country down.

Of course, you and everyone else secretly know that covid killed Trump - just like it would have a dem in power. Nothing like a good ole pandemic without a cure to make an incumbent president look impotent - especially when he has to rely on the federal bureaucracy for support.

Some work better with Congress because they werent aholes. None of your points takes away from Trump being absolute garbage. There being other absolute garbage out there doesnt diminish Trumps amount.

If anything it makes him worse because he didnt do anything to make any of it any better. And he definitely made the garbage situation worse. That's on him.

Once, in a while, we just have to stand back in awe of our government.

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever - to 46 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”

Thus ends today's lesson in irony.

You missed a salient point: bears, elk, wolves, etc do not vote. If they did, you would not be able to see the animals for the Democrat politicians in the way trying to feed them.

 

[LouderVol]

So the right thing for the wrong reasons is AOK with you. Got it.

So much for reasonable conversation everybody. Hill has said STFU.

I asked earlier. When would have been an acceptable time to make it a holiday?

If obama had done it, pandering. Trump would have been pandering. Bush, pandering. Clinton pandering. Etc.

If anything this is the least pandering time to do it. If they had done it right before an election that would have been peak pandering. And they did it right before, like days before, so it's not like there was a lot of build up to increase the pandering.

 

[LouderVol]

Hate does not equal a sentiment you disagree with. Try again.

So little self awareness.

Violence Breaks Out At Various Juneteenth Celebrations Across The Country

Several shootings and a riot occurred at Juneteenth celebrations across the country. The Juneteenth holiday, officially established on the federal level Thursday, was celebrated on Saturday.

In North Carolina, an EMS worker was shot while working at a Juneteenth rally in Raleigh. The man was reportedly responding to a child who was in need of medical assistance, according to local news station WRAL.

The first responder was reportedly walking back to the ambulance after helping the person in need when shots rang out at the celebration, striking both the man and the ambulance.

In Flint, Michigan, state police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred during a Juneteenth parade, The Detroit News reported.

The preliminary investigation initially showed that the officer was working at a traffic point for the celebration when a car pulled up and opened fire, causing the officer to return fire and strike the suspect.

A celebration gave way to rioting in Long Branch, New Jersey. Hundreds of people took to the streets in a Juneteenth celebration that quickly turned violent, the Lakewood Scoop reported.

Additionally, a shooting in Oakland, California, left at least one person dead and several others wounded, Fox News reported.
