Happy Juneteenth!
23 shot, at least one killed in Chicago's Juneteenth weekend celebrations. It's almost as if The Regime just throwing endless Zero-Cost Virtue Signals and dropping endless Self-Esteem Bombs on the black community isn't fixing the actual problems. But put that thought out of your mind. At the liberal propaganda mill The Dispatch, fat drunk Chris Stirewalk praies Juneteenth as a "day to reflect."
Apologists for American slavery often employ relativistic arguments: Legal slavery was part of human society from its earliest days and persisted in the world for decades after it was abolished here. In some places, it persists even today. These things are true, and historical context is important. We can't hold people of the past to modern standards. But we can hold them to their own. The very absence of the words "slave" or "slavery" from the Constitution speaks to the shame the framers felt. We can grant reality--that the politics of the time meant the debate in Philadelphia in 1787 wasn't whether the Constitution would permit slavery or not, but rather whether we would have a Constitution or not--but we can't pretend that it was undertaken without knowledge of the evils involved. It was an ugly calculation, and it required three key compromises in the document: Anti-slavery delegates agreed to allow 20 years before banning the international slave trade, which was already odious in much of Western society; Southern delegates agreed to get credit for only three-fifths of their enslaved people in determining congressional representation and Electoral College votes...Enough, fatboy.
CHAINZZZ.

@Doc_0 One reason Juneteenth isn't catching on organically with the general public is that it's obviously a politicized partisan "holiday," not a celebration where all Americans are invited to join hands and rejoice in a great achievement. That's what it should be, but it isn't. The rest of our political culture loudly insists every day that no "victory" has been won against slavery or racism. We're told they are the founding sins of America, for which there will never be atonement or forgiveness. We're told "white supremacy" remains a systemic problem. If anything, our hysterical racial grievance industry and the ruling Democrat Party say racism and white supremacy are getting WORSE. We're all supposed to feel perpetually guilty and submissive to endless demands for reparations. So what great victory does Juneteenth celebrate? You can't introduce a "holiday" like this into the context of pervasive grievance-mongering and identity politics and expect people to just say, "Sounds lovely, let's join hands and celebrate!" Every OTHER day, white Americans are told nobody wants to join hands with them.
Our deranged identity politics industry is busy creating white-adjacent categories they can shove disobedient minority groups into - as though whiteness were a contagious disease. Black Americans are told every day that sinister forces are stacking every deck against them. The Democrat Party is wholly dedicated to stoking racial grievances for political and financial gain - the man in the White House is infamous for yelling "they're gonna put y'all back in CHAINZZ" - so the new federal holiday is naturally viewed with skepticism. Context matters.
Persuading more states to commemorate Juneteenth would have been a better way to go, but as we know, the totalitarian Left has no patience for representative government. It had to be imposed top-down after the George Floyd riots - a flex of power, not persuasion. And now look at what we've got: a bloodbath. Juneteenth murder sprees. The long, slow work of creating a more harmonious nation, of putting racism and grievances behind us instead of nuclear-weaponizing them, would have produced a better holiday. Americans know the calendar is being chopped up into more identity-grievance days and months, pushed on them with corporate and government power instead of fellowship. True holidays spring from goodwill: from people seeing the best in others and offering it from themselves. If you want to plant a new holiday and have everyone feel comfortable beneath its spreading branches, you need the fertile soil of goodwill, a sense that everyone is invited but no one is commanded. Too much of our political culture is barren of that soil right now. /endTom Elliot drops some knowledge about Juneteenth. And CNN decides to make a race struggle issue of... Father's Day.
They never take a day off.

Word of this development was delivered by a Union General, who had just taken the port city of Galveston, by force, some two full months after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. This, in conjunction with the Battle of Sabine Pass, were the final battles of the Civil War.
Here is a link to a photo of Ashton Villa, the 2nd floor balcony from which the aforementioned Proclamation was read to the assembled slaves there on the Island.

But also - Civil rights leaders of the '50s and '60s saw slavery and Jim Crow as incompatible with America's founding principles. They celebrated America for living up to its principles, no matter the cost, by getting rid of the first and working on getting rid of the second.
It was a proof of the greatness of our country, and its founders, that we did these things.
Modern "Civil rights leaders" claim that America's founding principle is slavery and that it ended because blacks demanded it, or something equally stupid. Slavery is America's "original sin" for which there is no forgiveness.
If Juneteenth is to be celebrated, it shouldn't be as a black only holiday, but as a celebration of America. Of our founding principles that wouldn't allow slavery to continue, of the Abolitionists who fought for decades to end the practice and of the hundreds of thousands of America soldiers who "died to set men free."
But that would be uniting. That would be healing. And where's the profit in that?

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D- State of Texas and the State of Idiocy) had been pushing making Juneteenth a National Holiday for many years. Never got to a floor vote. Saint George Floyd's OD created a Juneteenth political opportunity for Nanzi. She brought Sheila's damned bill to a floor vote got it passed. Senate Republicans were all-in, afraid of being called ray-ciss.
I believe this damned bill is the only one Sheila Jackson Lee authored that has been passed and signed into law. She's not running for re-election next year. Instead, she'll run for Mayor of Houston. She has a lot of seniority in the Dem Caucus; I think she's baling-out of Congress to avoid the embarrassment of Hakeem Jeffries not making her ranking member or chairman of a full House Committee in the next Congress.

When half of the country wants to leave - saving the country isn't exactly a virtue.
If the wife wants to leave - there are limits to saving the marriage as she's packing her suitcase out the door. Grabbing her by the neck and pulling her inside is not a family friendly action. Even if everybody shows up at Sears next week and poses for the portrait.
This is a really, really common mental block around here. The idea that, if a subset wants to leave, it's somehow a virtue to make them stay.
We, as a country, never support a regime that makes any political entity stay. Never.

The Civil Rights Movement started just after the Civil War. The Civil Rights Act in the 1880's was found unconstitutional. The Civil Rights began in 1905 at Niagara Falls New York with Marxist/Commie with that Dubious Jive Turkey as the face backed by international money of Marxists/Commies.
People have been lied to and point finders at Demshits and Repukes when both were captured and sold out nation out. The Southern Democrats were the only bloc to vote against both the 1960's Immigration and Civil Rights Act.
MLK had all his speeches written by Marxists/Commies. He was a terrible person who was a Useful Idiots for a Sinister Movement known as the 2nd invasion of the Yankees against The South and Southerners.

There's no political gain for Democrats making Emancipation Proclamation Day a National Holiday. For two reasons:
1. It would celebrate an action taken by a Republican President (The Dems pretend to love Lincoln only when it is to some advantage to them).
2. It would officially acknowledge Emancipation (not receipt of news of Emancipation in Galveston), detracting from the Narrative of Total White Oppression of Blacks From 1619 To Today.

To be somewhat fair to Texas, there was an existential war of survival going on, from the Southern states perspective, at the time - that might have something to do with the slow communications such as shutting down the internet.
What I could support, in place of Juneteenth, is Emancipation Day as that is the day the United States pounded a stake in the ground that marked that slavery was dead. EP Day would also include the immense sacrifice of men and material to effect this change. That is something to celebrate.

Prolly worse when people with zero roots and skin in the game move here and wants to dig up graves and become Civil War Activists and American Deconstructionalists.

andrew jackson was worried that Texas was going to conquer Mexico and become a huge power player in the southern part of the western hemisphere. He and then congress delayed recognizing Texas as a Republic for over a year after santa anna was defeated and neither wanted Texas to become a State.

Yeah, Pride Month during God the Father's Day. Thanks Yankees, Repubs, and Dems. Very Cool
We entered via consent. States are free to leave until Lincoln and International Finance and Industrialists decided we couldn't.
Some of us have entire families that have been cancelled because they dared to give speeches exposing the Nefarious Triuth about the Civil Rights, Marxists/Commies, and Yankees who love them all including money and power over People.
Folks are Confused.

... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Ah, here's the rub.
YES, it was against natural law and natural rights to hold another person as property, BUT since a slave was legally property (yes, repugnant), general emancipation would be exorbitantly expensive--and it was, 1861-1865.

Celebrating the Great Suppression of Texas, which attempted to secede from the Union so it could deprive children of gender-affirming care. The heroic United States military quashed the rebellion, with Texas' casualties approximated at 1.2 million. The Loyalist City of Austin was pivotal in putting down the rebels, furnishing information, lodging, and safe space to agents of the United States.

Lincoln’s advisors: “SC has seceded.”
Lincoln: “Oh OK.” Seriously? THAT was supposed to have happened?
Yes, disunions can occur peacefully, but by and large, history tells us this does not happen and that bloody disunity is the rule, not the exception.

Lincoln wanted to stop its spread to the West. The South wouldn't compromise over this and tried to assassinate Lincoln on his way to DC to assume office.

The wonderful country we knew wasn't lost. It was carved up and sold off by the very officials we trusted to protect it.
I hope to see them both burn before it all goes up in smoke.
