Sure, all that shit is super evil. I'm very sorry it happened, but again, none of us had jack squat to do with any of it. We were all just born here and are doing our best to get by in an insane world. I think about race approximately zero times per day on average, until the media or some politician brings it up. I would say the average sane American feels about the same. [Reply]

I hope he gets this mad at his own people and how his country handled abolishing slavery which saw people receiving payments for freed slaves all the way until 2015. Though the freed slaves and descendants never got paid. [Reply]

I'm going to celebrate Juneteenth today and BBQ later tonight. Glad we don't have legal slavery anymore and don't have to deal with that stuff people on all sides had to deal with back when. [Reply]
Also, I have no issue with the premise of this holiday but you've got to come up with a better name. Juneteenth? WTF is that? That's a name that is almost begging for racist comments. Call it Freedom Day or the Final Abolition of Slavery Day or Texas Liberation Day or anything else. [Reply]

The name doesn't bother me at all. It's got a nice ring to it. Middle of June needs a nice break built in so you gotta keep it upbeat. [Reply]
