    And that's part of the problem. We've got all these people making all these pronouncements about the black community, when in reality they really don't know sheep shit from wild honey...Unless you've grown up with them and known them all your life, some of your (collective you) understanding is incomplete.

      Hm, it seems cooler than I thought. I thought it was a new invention. Now that I've googled it I feel bad about making fun of it.

      Education is extremely important.

                    It's not a holiday, there is no holiday to respect.

                        So, I can actually get behind a holiday that commemorates the freeing of the slaves. It's symbolically a major turning point in this country, and quite frankly, it's a good reminder to BLM today that slaves were freed 150 years ago.

                              Tomorrow I'll go for a saunter, perhaps an amble!

                                      Ok, this was just funny. Our 'county executive' sent out the now-obligatory Juneteenth message and it started like this:

                                      On June 19, 1865, our nation stood together in solidarity as we marked the emancipation of African Americans from slavery in the United States...

                                      Um, no it didn't.

                                      Only non-witches get due process.

                                        @jon-nyc said in Juneteenth:

                                        Ok, this was just funny. Our 'county executive' sent out the now-obligatory Juneteenth message and it started like this:

                                        On June 19, 1865, our nation stood together in solidarity as we marked the emancipation of African Americans from slavery in the United States...

                                        Um, no it didn't.

                                        Yeah, how about that? They stood in solidarity to remove an institution that they "invented" (see Tim Kaine reference).

                                        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Let's not forget slavery was instituted in the colonies by the brits.

                                          The United States came along long after slavery started here.

                                          The USA ended slavery.

                                          Credit where credit is due.
