amazing nation
Built on, and consisting of genocide, slavery, wars, violence, crimes against humanity, corruption, hate, racism.
“Amazing” has a different meaning in my dictionary.
[politics] ya but, at least Juneteenth still lives! herp-a-derp!

And that’s a bad thing?

lol for real - overt racism aside, who tf gets butthurt about having an additional holiday lmao
unmagical@lemmy.ml 15 hours ago
We have two summer holidays and one “based on race” because the one “based on race” recognizes the time Union soldiers arrived on the Texan shores and forcibly freed a group of people subjugated based on their race–it just didn’t happen to fall on July 4th.
The two holidays recognize two completely different things it doesn’t matter when in the damn year it occurred.

It’s only “based on race” because slavery was based on race. It’s the end of slavery, not “Black people day.”
That’s like saying July 4th is “all about the British.”

Imagine being pissed off about a second holiday in the summer.

But it’s for Black people, so he thinks he’s not allowed to enjoy it. For him, it’s like watching your neighbors having a fun pool party, but they didn’t invite you, because you’re such an asshole all the time.

Why are you still giving space to his views? I definitely don’t agree with his worldview but he hated enough alive, maybe his viewpoint should stop being perpetuated.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
It’s important to remind everyone that he was a piece of shit. Republicans are whitewashing his history.
otter@lemmy.ca 13 hours ago
Are they though?
At the very least, no one is doing it here. I’d rather have a rebuttal comment if/when a post that tries to do that, rather than seeing these posts
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Funfact about dead people. They are fucking dead. The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them. Full fucking stop no fucking argument.
If they are a piece of shit leave them to rot and forget about them. They are FUCKING DEAD.

Technically…Juneteenth isn’t in the summer…
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Oh, you’re playing with fire trying to be pedantic like this. You’re using the astronomical definition which starts on the solstice (some astronomical definitions treat the solstice as the center of the season, but starting at the solstice is the predominant one). Multiple countries use the meteorological definition which includes all of three months (June included in the Northern Hemisphere). The US has no overarching legal definition, but for example, US maritime law gives a batshit definition of summer as “April 1 to October 31” and winter as all the rest. And culturally in the US, summer tends to start at Memorial Day (e.g. this is when outdoor public pools usually start opening).

Yeah, it’s 1-3 days before it and now that’s how I’ll remember when summer starts

He did lean left in the end.

Grimy@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Hard to say, he leaned left but he was wearing a red shirt last I saw of him. I guess he made his own path. Instead of going left or right, he went 6 feet down.

He said that, right?
