If wanted to travel to Vermont or Maine from Long Island, if would be required to quarantine for 14 days, but if I went to Trumps rally in Tulsa I could sit with 19,000 people for hours in an enclosed space. Does this make rational sense.

By the way, you are wrong about how I know about Juneteenth. I read about Juneteenth in a book about Texas back in the early 2000s. If this doesn't suffice for you, then it's you with the problem, not me.
actually tearing down or destroying, or vandalizing any property that is NOT YOURS is a crime..


you don't like the statue or what it represents...then petition to have to removed in a lawful way, otherwise the people doing it are just criminals

Are you proud of ignorance? I like to learn, myself.

A "snappy name"? It's not a jingle for a commercial, dude. That IS pretty "snappy". What is "snappy" to you? "Columbus Day"? AKA "Invading Rapist and Psychopath Day?" Or "Flag Day" when we venerate a piece of cloth? Just roll that one into Independence Day.

Since you don't know, no one today "invented" Juneteenth. It commemorates the END OF SLAVERY.


The holiday began to be observed in outside of Texas, by Wesley Johnson. He didn't invent it. He named it.

In 1945. Which is hardly "new".

Think of it as another Independence Day - just as important, if not more than the one on July 4th. .
And NO. It is NOT a "Black Holiday"

It's a HUMAN holiday. If you are humane and just, you will love Juneteenth.

Opps


Here's another one wishing covid on their fellow Americans. Why would you do that.



And they call Trump supporters reprehensible.

I sure to you it doesn't because you don't blame the Democrat who imposed the ridiculous ban on you while allowing rioting to go unabated.


So you blame the Republican because hey, that's what you do.

You've been posting here for 11 years. Prior to this month did you ever make a single post there about this Junteenth?

I'll ask you the same. You've been posting here for 12 years. Did you ever make a post about "Juneteenth" anywhere on this forum during that time?
