Juneteenth Quiz: How well do you know Emancipation Day?

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Their actions encouraged by race baiters harm this country. They are not above the law.

Oh my goodness you're paranoid. Who in the heck is "They"? And who specifically are the race baiters, what are they telling people to do and what does ANY of that have to do with a holiday that celebrates the notification given to the slaves in Texas that slavery was abolished 3 years previously?!?

Wales & Ireland are two different countries so how did St Patrick's Day end up being associated with the Irish Tommy?

I hope you know me well enough by now to know that this a honest inquiry and not sarcasm

The story is that Pat went over there and cleared all the rats out of the country. The Irish were very pleased with this and sainted him.

I think he could find work in the US judging by the respones to this thread.

Patron Saints are a funny thing. Englands saint is St George who famously killed a dragon. He was a Turk. Modern England would put him on a flight to Rwanda.Mainly because Turks are not white enough.

I may be paranoid but it is better than being gullible and naive.

IM2 would you expect people who knew slavery had been outlawed but continued to practice it for the next 3 years to be honest and truthful about their intentions and behaviors, even in the year 2022?

It's unfortunate how many racists will continue to benefit off of black people, getting paid time off for a holiday that commemorates the lawful end to something so horrific that the white race implemented.

No. I expect what I see here coming from the usual suspects.

 

[IM2]

It is pandering. What does it do to help Blacks?

Any positive for blacks is pandering to your racist ass. What does July 4th do to help whites?

June 19th is our Independence day. Not July 4th. And the shame of it all is we had to be given a second independence day on June 2, 1964 because you racists didn't want to respect our freedom.

Why are you obsessed with Black people?

"Okay class this is the question I want you to answer. What group of people did the ending of slavery impact and what is their race?"

Duh

Why are you obsessed with Black people?

They have been brainwashed that this is how they make up for 160 years ago

I would hope that you're just drunk in the middle of a Saturday and not this stupid but wouldn't bet money on it.

Juneteenth is "June 19th" which doesn't change year to year but the day of the week it falls on does.

Last year it fell on a Saturday and next year it will fall on a Monday so you don't have to worry about it "falling" on Father's day again anytime soon. Nonetheless the observation of the federal holiday is on Monday.

Either way, it doesn't interfere with YOUR father's day unless you're so immature, thin-skinned and self-centered that you can't stand the thought of sharing the celebration of you being a father with another holiday especially one that you and your family in all likelihood wouldn't even know about let alone celebrate if you weren't here on this message board.

And speaking of line butting, that was a very prevalent practice engaged in by white people when I was attending college down south. They still hadn't gotten the memo more than 10 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They always seemed so surprised and a little embarrassed whenever I pointed out that I/we were next in line and that the back of the line was in fact "over there" [pointing to the end of the line]. They always acquiesced though and I generally gave them a nice smile for recognizing the error of their ways or correcting it.

It’s on Father's day this year and rather than respond to that you are babbling about future years.

 

[WEATHER53]

Again it’s about being special as opposed to equal.
The end of concentration camps was a very good thing but nobody has just made up their very own holiday for it
Pretty soon we will have Floydgiving or Floydmas and you all will be offering the same fallacious feelings as to it’s merit.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

I may be paranoid but it is better than being gullible and naive.

And how am I either gullible or naive? Just because I won't let you come onto my thread and disparage black people in general and throw up a bunch of bullshit statements about how celebration of this day harms you & yours?

If I were either of those things you wouldn't be getting challenged on the statements you've made here, challenges for which you have failed to rise.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

It’s on Father's day this year and rather than respond to that you are babbling about future years.

You still don't understand why your objection to the fact that it's falls on father's day this year is so FUNNY?

It's because you're acting as if someone actually conspired to ruin your father's day which is hilarious.

I only mentioned next year and last year to try to make you feel better and SHOW you that no one singled out your holiday for SHARING in order to ruin things for anyone (as if sharing is SUCH a bad thing).

That's not babbling, that's how you demonstrate that something is not a conspiracy

Mate, how do you get through your day with so much hate in your heart ?

Be nice. Tell me what racist thing I have said. It looks like the truth and of course you will not accept it.

I have not disparaged Black people I have disparaged the games race baiters play just to create division and get votes.

You are gullible, naive, paranoid and racist.

Point number 1: Republicans authored an amendment making slavery a constitutionally protected activity. The Republican party is the party of the Corwin Amendment that would have made slavery constitutional.

Point number 2: A Republican president, with the support of the Republican Party, ended reconstruction. The Republican Party is the party of the 1877 Compromise that ended reconstruction and paved the way for Jim Crow.

Point number 3: Once blacks got a foothold in the Republican party and gained some semblance of political equality, white Republicans took steps to purge blacks from leadership positions. The Republican Party is the party of the Lily White movement, a group of Republicans that worked to purge blacks from the party.

Point number 4: Republicans consistently broke promises or ignored issues that affected black people. When blacks got Civil Rights, the Republican Party did not believe that was civil or right and decided that extremism in defense of liberty was no vice. In 1964 the Republican Party turned its back on blacks after nearly 100 years of black support.

Point number 5: Today’s Republican Party is controlled by a racist Anti-Black base.

Understand that this is our experience with the republican party. Most blacks are independent. We vote for democrats because of their policies. The racist party, yours, that simultaneously opposes juneteenth, claiming it's pandering, or that tells us how we were not slaves while always telling us how we should vote for republicans because they freed the slaves will NEVER get the majority of black votes until the racists are removed from leadership and made irrelevant. All you hope to do is peel off enough blacks to gain power, your party doesn't give a damn about black people. Your party is the panderers.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

No. I expect what I see here coming from the usual suspects.

Yeah I pondered on whether I should put it here in Current Events where it's pretty much a free for all or in the Race section where things are a little more regulated but it is a national current event so this is what we get

Not that the predictive analysis wasn't right on the money

Your opposition to Juneteenth is evidence of your racism.
