Anyway, Juneteenth was the day Texans were informed that slavery was over.


Joe Biden got his facts garbled again on Thursday, apparently mistaking the day marking the emancipation of American slaves with what’s considered one of the worst massacres of African-Americans in US history.

“He’s going down to Texas on Juneteenth, right? The first major massacre, literally speaking, of ‘Black Wall Street,’ right? Years ago,” the gaffe-prone veep said, referring to President Trump during a roundtable with community members on how to reopen the economy during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Trump campaign jumped on the blunder, tweeting out a 10-second clip of the statement Biden made at the event at the Empire Center, once home to Dick Clark’s famed “American Bandstand” TV show.

“Joe Biden doesn’t know what Juneteenth is. 1. President Trump is going to Texas today, not June 19. 2. Juneteenth is about emancipation. 3. The massacre was in Oklahoma,” the “Trump War Room” tweeted.

Trump will resume holding campaign rallies on June 19 in Tulsa, but was in Texas on Thursday for a sitdown with evangelical leaders and visit to a Dallas megachurch where he joined Attorney General Bill Barr and HUD Secretary Ben Carson to talk police reform in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing.

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19, marks the day when news that President Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation reached Texas, the last slave state to receive the news.

Maybe Biden thought the blacks in Tulsa celebrated being free by shooting each other...

You know, like they do in Chicago!!!

The U.S. is a sick society (in a purely mental sense).

Blacks are 13-14 % of the population. Throw in a smattering of liberal true believer white guilt whites , and some Hispanics. Still doesn't reach even close to over 25% of our population!
Everyone else cowers like pussy's with open eyes in headlights. Unable to organize, thus unable to resist.
In a true Banana Republic, the minority rules!

Banana's for everyone.... :banana: .

If the average IQ is lower, this is not good on so many fronts.

Gaffes, all politicians make them.

 
Trump is celebrating Juneteenth by holding a rally at the site of a massive black massacre

The man is clueless

You're clueless.

What would you rather memorialize? A massacre or the day black people in Texas finally discovered they were free from slavery?

I would much rather memorialize a day of freedom rather than a day of death and suffering.

You have no place lecturing anyone on cluelessness.

Why in the wide, wide world of sports would Trump choose to honor the liberation of blacks at the site of a massacre of blacks?

Because liberation and freedom are the antitheses of death and suffering.

My god, you are thick.

Did I really have to spell this out to you? Or were you intent on focusing solely on the negative aspects of African American history anyway?
