Did you honestly think once ever about Juneteenth before the left tried to use it to dunk on Trump? Be honest. If you’re like 85% of America then you didn’t. I’m all for ending slavery. I’m proud to be part of the side that went to war to end it. But we now have absolute clowns who virtue signal as a lifestyle attempting to USE it against the same party that sacrificed their lives to free the slaves. It’s so bizarre how anyone could be so blind as to not see what the hell the left/media is constantly doing. How anyone could even take them seriously, much less stand with them, baffles me. And then we have Switzerland conservatives who try to play the middle rather than calling the left out for what it is, the embodiment of evil and deceit. I don’t mean the left as in the sheep who blindly follow. They aren’t evil they’re just useful idiots. But the ones pulling the strings are 100% evil.
And as a general comment on the thread, making racist jokes is not funny. It makes you look ignorant and will make the idiots on the left actually correct when they call you racist. This is a public forum. If you want to be a dumbass do it around a campfire with other dumbasses. . I don’t want to be associated with it.
I think I said above that I don't like how it got in the spotlight, and no, I didn't think about it regularly, but I certainly had read about it. And no, I don't like what the media is doing with it, nor do I take them particularly seriously.
I'll tell you what I do think, outside of the context of the current political shit show, regarding this. I think that the early American settlers did something amazing by coming here, but they were not able to be free. I think that then the founding fathers did something truly amazing by gaining freedom, and giving us the framework of government in which each man could have true dignity, but they couldn't do it without the compromise of continued slavery. I think the men who fought in the Civil War, for whatever reason, came out victorious in a manner that made real the promise of dignity the founding fathers offered. Imperfectly, of course, but it was a major, important step in our history as were the other two. I think things gradually got better, and then a bunch of asshole social justice warriors came after the early Civil Rights era and have been destroying all of that good work, and denigrating it, and trying to destroy the country. So I'd prefer to celebrate what I see as those important accomplishments, however we name them, and irrespective of the garbage that self arrogates the mantle of working for human dignity that the above generations truly deserve.
We celebrate a lot of stupid shit with holidays, none worse than Labor Day. I certainly don't support BLM day, but if this is about celebrating the realization of the American promise, I am fine with that.
I hope that makes some sense.
Sincerely.
Switzerland.
Oh, and if it just another day for online shopping, I will pass.
