Recognizing Juneteenth as a federal holiday is a hollow victory

Hollow are not, the victory is a win for historical accuracy.

Now, we need to discuss why assholes in Texas decided to lie and keep freed men and women enslaved. Anyone?
 
You skipped part II of the post.

"Now, we need to discuss why assholes in Texas decided to lie and keep freed men and women enslaved. Anyone?"
 
are you claiming those holidays were designed to pander to a specific voting bloc? Mother's day is not a federal holiday.
I did not make that claim.

I discussed politicians using American holidays for their own ends.

I made the claim that the actions of politicians and politicians' motives are things which are distinct from any particular holiday and what that holiday honors.
I made the claim that politicians' self-serving actions and impure motives do not alter or diminish a holiday or what a holiday honors.

I mentioned some holidays that politicians might use to gain some attention or otherwise serve their own purposes
to highlight the fact these things (the politicians and their motives) do not alter or diminish
these other things which they are distinct and separate from (holidays and what they honor)

I did not mean to convey anything about the reasons why Mother's Day was made into a federal holiday or w/e it was you thought I said.
 
what do you think the drive was to celebrate a holiday that until recently was almost exclusively a black event?
This ignorant retarded lie will never be true LMAO
Stomp your feet, hold your breath or repeat it 100 times its factually wrong and it only exposes how monumentally ignorant or dishonest you are on this topic . . . . .pick one :ROFLMAO:

😁🍿

Wrong. Part two was not there when I quoted your post to reply to it.
Your part two also dos not answer "how" this so-called hollow victory/victory "is a win for historical accuracy".

So again; How?
 
Lots of white liberals pretend they know what is best for blacks. mainly the goal is to keep blacks dependent and voting for white democrats
interesting, how come blacks haven't figured that out?
I mean since around 1964 generations and generations of blacks have voted democrat at like what 85+% . . .
how come they haven't figured out what you magically claimed to have figured out?

😁🍿

psychobabble.

FDR's social welfare programs mainly
 
why should it be one or the other? We celebrate Christmas, do we not? We celebrate Thanksgiving, do we not? We celebrate Columbus Day, do we not? All of those holidays mean exactly zero in regards to our real history and the last should 100% not be celebrated...it is akin to making a holiday for Hilter.
Wrong as usual.
 
psychobabble.

Dont you claim to be a lawyer? But yet English and facts stump you so easily?
there's nothing in that line that supports your failed claim at all, sorry facts win again LMAO
Blacks inventing and celebrating it because THEY were the ones freed doesn't equate to your retarded lie of "until recently was almost exclusively a black event?"
Your claim remains factually false and ignorant

post again and fail again harder! Its awesome!

:ROFLMAO:🍿

BOOM!!! look at the very telling dodge LMAO

Ill ask you AGAIN . . .

the "holiday" is almost exclusively celebrated by one ethnic group and pandering to that group was the design of the Democrats

It seems similar and possibly related to what stumped Trump the other day: Why don't more Jewish Americans vote GOP?
as in
Why don't more Black Americans vote GOP — in general AND esp considering the reports of how awful the Democrats have been for Black Americans?

your meaningless feelings, opinions and failed deflection that has no impact on the fact that your first statment is factually false, try again!!! 😁

agreed very interesting . . . did Donnie come up with an answer?
Maybe turtle can tell us why he made the claim?

Let me guess. It's a black thing to you. Thus, of course, you oppose it.
 
This is old school white racist shit here
ah 5 yard penalty-throwing the race card gratuitously

so tell us what the purpose of making this a federal holiday? the last federal holiday created was for Dr King.

"pandering to blacks"

The penalty flag landed on your shoe.

I asked you a question for clarification purposes.
If you can't answer it just say so instead of making irrelevant commentary.
 
"pandering to blacks"

few posters throw the race card more than you do and this is just another case

no one can tell me what was the pressing need to create another federal holiday that is designed to appeal mainly to blacks given the last one did that too
