Happy Juneteenth

why are you people trashing a celbration of the end of slavery.


Its history and its real.

We are a DECENT country because we did this

Truth is .. we ain't (eb) all that decent.

Slavery lasted in America long after it was abolished throughout the West .. and, it is STILL legal in the US .. AND, it STILL exists in a different form.

SEE: the Prison/Indistrial Complex .. where prisoner/slaves work for some of the largest corporations in America for about 25 cents an hour. And, thosr prisoner/slaves look a lot like the slaves of our past.

oh hell yeah, but I have to give the people who saw the evil and were willing to fight it even at the cost of the countries exsistnace and their own lives.

It was a real truning point in history in my veiw.

it is a real shame the people on the ground could not all see it as those willing to fight and die and even risk the entire coutries exsistance.


It wells pride in my soul for my country.

we are barely getting to the point they were fighting for all these years later.

It will come , these assholes on the right refuse to help.

But it will come.

I don't spend much time focusing on what the right won't do. I don't expect them to do anything they aren't programmed to do.

The problem I have is what democrats won't do. Not just won't they won't do for African-Americans, but also what they won't do for the country and their own base.

Solutions are not to be found within the Democratic Party .. which is now fully owned and operated by Wall Street.
 
oh hell yeah the war on drugs is racist.

that is an undeniable fact.

so is the vast majority of the Obama hate syndrome

I don't do drugs, so I don't care about that... As for Mr. Soetoro, my distaste for his Socialist agenda has nothing to do with his skin color.

Much of that is true .. but not all of it. I hate Obama .. nothing to do with his race .. with the exception that I find him embarrassing for black people.

He knows the truth of the war on drugs and how devastating it is to black families and communities. But what do you think he's going to do about it?

Absolutely nothing.

I have a long list of critically important things that he is going to do absolutely nothing about.

If he loses .. fuck him.

Why am I, a white guy, not able to dislike him as well..... but for political & ideology reasons alone?

Why am I considered a racist if I hate his policies?

I have NOTHING against him for being black. In fact, I am proud of America for electing a black man as POTUS.... I just wish it was a different man.

It really isnt about him.

its about us.

A scond term of Obama (while not perfect) is preferable to one term of a corprate raider who refused to go to veitnam yet protested FOR young men just like him to die for nothing refused to send his sons to war like many American did recently and cant evern bring himself to state his opinions on issues BECAUSE hes in an election and wants to double down on proven failed economic direction.


hell I have said about every president I have voted for "they did not act liberal enough".
 
African-Americans are STILL only relatively free in the United States.

Any questions, lookup the statistics on the so-called "war on drugs" .. which is nothing more than a war on black people. The biggest users of illegal drugs in the US are white people BY FAR.

Black people are the biggest killers of black people...

Thats the Republicans fault too... :eusa_whistle:

White people are the biggest killers of white people.

Guess that's Obama's fault.

That is not the presidnet name , he is not a socialist and the only thing you got right about him is hes black.


gee I guess you do hate him for that since its the ONLY real thing you know about him

You aren't called a racist for not liking Obama or his policies. You probably just get lumped into the gaggle of morons on the right who are racist.

Question: Do you challenge racist comment, or do you just go along with it as you did in the post about blacks killing more blacks?

If you don't challenge racist thought then it's easy to see why you get lumped in with the morons.

What I challenge is racists like you who limp all white republicans in a nice little racist basket.

For one thing I was being sarcastic at the fact you idiots lump it all in the republicans lap rather than taking responsilbilty for your own actions.
 
Juneteenth 2012: When Did Slavery Really End?


Though President Abraham Lincoln ended slavery with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slaves in Texas had no knowledge of their freedom until two and a half years later. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston and declared the end of the Civil War, with General Granger reading aloud a special decree that ordered the freeing of some 200,000 slaves in the state.

Because of the delay, many African Americans started a tradition of celebrating the actual day slavery ended on June 19 (also known as Juneteenth). But for some, their cheers were short-lived. Thanks to the South's lucrative prison labor system and a deceptive practice called debt peonage, a kind of neo-slavery continued for some blacks long into the 1940s. The question then arises: When did African Americans really claim their freedom?


President Abraham Lincoln ended slavery IN THE SOUTH with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863

I don't do "lesser evil." When lesser evil becomes the argument, there really isn't an argument, just a placebo to make someone think they are actually doing something important when in fact, they aren't.

War cannot be your argument in defense of Obama. We are in a state of perpetual war chasing an invisible enemy that we created. Obama is droning planet earth .. and after the election if he survives, he's going to attack Iran.

Our military is broken with more soldiers killing themselves than are killed by the invisible enemy.

War cannot be your argument.
 
How does that change what he said?

Reconcile that truth with the rates of arrest, incarceration, and probation and you'll have your answer.

He is saying that drug abuse is the fault of the person abusing the drugs.

Whether white, black, yellow or purple, that statement holds true.

Wrong. That isn't all that he's saying.

He's saying that the war on drugs has nothing to do with racism or flawed policies.

Again, reconcile that with the truth of who is using the most drugs and outcomes and your confusion will go away.

war is not my defense of anyone.

in life choices are never perfect.

i have no problem seeing and facing the things Obama has failed on.

I also have no problem seeing the things the republican party is bent on doing.


I have all my life had imperfect choices.

poor kids learn that one very welll.

they ONLY way to a better situation is your best choice at the momment.

I am not picking a saint I am picking a 4 year run leader of my country.

Every person who I could chose is flawed.

that doesnt mean I just stop making choices
