SIGNED!The Southern Democrats or Grant the Union general? Both of those had slaves.We should always remember the lengths the democrat party went to to keep their black slaves
Just remember this. Today it's 14 Republicans who voted against black people.
The House overwhelmingly passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on Wednesday by a vote of 415 to 14, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden’s desk and putting the nation on the cusp of establishing a federal holiday marking the end of slavery.
If signed by Biden, the day will be the first new national holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.
Except it isn't a federal holiday.......Hello? St. Patrick's Day!What federal holidays should we have for March and April?
Christmas was canceled? When did that happen?making a religious holiday a federal holiday might enrage the left, they already want to cancel christmasHello? St. Patrick's Day!What federal holidays should we have for March and April?
This is all good but what will this actually do? I already celebrated Juneteenth without the approval of whites. Its not going to reverse the affects of centuries of slavery or the decades of systemic racism Black people have endured in this country. Is it just another "starting point"? If so a starting point for what?The Southern Democrats or Grant the Union general? Both of those had slaves.We should always remember the lengths the democrat party went to to keep their black slaves

Care to expound on this notion?Sad state of affairs when America is just catering to the Lowest Common Denominator

What're you, some kind of Bull Moose?It always cracks me up when morons seem to think pointing out who was in what political party over one hundred years ago is somehow relevant to today.....That's right never forget what the conservative whites did.We should always remember the lengths the democrat party went to to keep their black slaves
WarThe day now known as "Juneteenth," the 19th of June, 1865, is the day when it is believed enslaved people in Galveston, TX, received word that they had been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863. The proclamation reads, in pertinent part:
"That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free..."
But there are some significant problems with the Emancipation Proclamation. First of all, there is no such thing as a "proclamation," and it does not have the force of law, let alone the force of a Constitutional Amendment. It is about as meaningful as a Presidential "signing statement" would be today, to wit, it was/is a President stating how the Executive department will interpret and carry out a law. But of course the EP was not carrying out any law; it was contrary to both laws and the Constitution.
More importantly, the EP, had it been legally effective, would have been a clear and gross violation of the Fifth Amendment, which states that no one shall be "deprived of...property without due process of law." Unfortunately, the enslaved individuals were at the time "property," owned by their respective masters. The President had no more power to free slaves than he had to demand that American cattle farmers release their livestock onto the open range. In short, he didn't have that power, and had he tried to exercise it, the slave owners would have had to be compensated for the value of their lost property ("slavery reparations"?).
Parenthetically, the Emancipation does not even purport to free the slaves in the Border States of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri, because, perversely, the President acknowledged that he lacked the power to do so. In effect, he was telling The World that (a) the rebellion had no effect and the states in rebellion were actually still part of the United States, but (b) the Constitution did not apply in those states. Hmmm.
Suffice it to say that the enslaved people were effectively emancipated on December 6, 1865, with the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment.
What purpose does it serve to celebrate a date that had no legal meaning or status, rather than the actual date when the event occurred? Why not celebrate January 1 (1863); it has more legitimacy than June 19th. One suspects that it is merely one of a million examples of Leftist attempts to destroy our history by claiming that "What you have been taught all your life was WRONG!"
And now we have what? The Senate passes a bill that makes "Juneteenth" a national holiday - of which we already have far too many. If they are serious, they should think about de-holidizing Christmas, which if I'm not mistaken is a RELIGIOUS OCCASION that should not facilitate a government worker paid holiday.
The Confederacy started the Civil War. I don't know what political parties they had in that country. Republicans got a proposal passed to make slavery constitutional. Understand that and shut the hell up.Republicans authored and proposed the Corwin Amendment which would have made slavery constitutional. It passed congress but never got ratified. So republicans need to stop that disingenuous democrat slavery shit.
Which party ended slavery, and which party started a war to keep slavery?
Take your time.
Oh.....and which one do you vote for?
America has catered to white racists since it started, so yes it is a sad state of affairs how America has always catered to the Lowest Common Denominator.If you can not understand than you are part of the LCD problemCare to expound on this notion?Sad state of affairs when America is just catering to the Lowest Common Denominator
Which members of either party who did those things are still alive? Better yet, which members of either party who did those things have CHILDREN that are still alive?Republicans authored and proposed the Corwin Amendment which would have made slavery constitutional.
