    Contractors don’t get to have opinions on personnel matters.

    Which they shouldn't even care about. But of course this is about leveraging power through minority PR, not personnel or a holiday. So, have fun with your alienation, man, I hope the pariah thing works out for you.

    Please love yourself.

      Again, a poor strategy for temporary resources.

        Absolutely! Probably applies to the whole woke debacle in general, too.

        Please love yourself.

          Had a thought about Juneteenth, and this is the closest thread I could find.

          Today's Google Doodle is of a group of blacks noodling around in a park or something. All black faces, no whites.

          It occurred to me to wonder, aren't whites allowed to commemorate Juneteenth? Isn't it reasonable to suppose that the end of slavery of human beings is also a source of gladness for whites?

          In fact, in a much, much less abhorrent and frightful way, were not whites also liberated at that time from the onus of owning humans?

            You're about 30 years behind where the narrative has strayed to.

              The status of Juneteenth is a sad commentary.

              You think it is divisive now?

              It is, very divisive.

              Just wait until it is cancelled.

              It is just as inevitable as Roe's cancellation.

                      I think you should do a shout-out to Anglo-Saxons for their pioneering role worldwide in ending slavery. Express how much pride you feel that this 10,000 year old scourge of mankind was essentially ended in less than a century once your fine people set their minds to it. Propose a toast to our moral leadership.

                      Only non-witches get due process.

                              Juneteenth falling on Father’s Day must have Google working overtime.

                              White people are busy googling “what is Juneteenth,” while black people are googling “what is a Father?”

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