I know talking about white people positively in any historical context is taboo, but at least part of the celebration should be a message of unity, that it took both races coming together to end slavery.
Maybe in your household, you cuck. Round these parts we celebrate white folk. [Reply]

You're entitled to live how you live buddy. But some folks are forced to face racial situations every single day and don't have the privilege to not think about it. [Reply]
