[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good. There should be no national holidays based solely on race or gender.

We should have a national holiday for Trump, as the most inspirational and influential president since Lincoln, he will certainly have a holiday established to recognize his place among the great American heroes.[/quote]
There are no holidays based solely on race or gender, you POS.[/quote]

Juneteenth National Independence Day?

It's "the longest running African-American holiday" source: Knight, Gladys L. (2011). "Juneteenth". Encyclopedia of African American Popular Culture. Greenwood. pp. 798–801[/quote]

Juneteenth National Independence Day Act (Pub. L. 117–17), passed by the 117th U.S. Congress and signed by President Biden on June 17, 2021, recognizes the freedom of enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865, It marks when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the last enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy. It recognizes and celebrates a profound milestone in American history — the declaration of freedom for an entire race of American people who had been held in bondage for centuries. It's a holiday for all Americans.[/quote]

[b]Emancipation day [/b]would have been a better day to celebrate as its way to local of a holiday.

None the less its a celebration of a particular group of americans, thus it is based on race per the PP. Given that [b]many recent immigrants have no connection to the horrible legacy of slavery[/b].[/quote]
Emancipation day varies by state. Junteenth marks when the last enslaved people were freed/informed of their emancipation.
All Americans have a connection to the horrible legacy of slavery in that our black countrymen and women are still suffering the aftereffects and continued racism on American soil. The white immigrants benefit from institutionalized racism. The black immigrants are greeted with racism ("sh ithole countries", to wit).[/quote]

It's absurd.  Go back another generation and it was black people enslaving black people.

You know who benefited from slavery in the US?  A very small portion of rich white people.  You know who the abolitionists were.  Poor white people from the Midwest.  They fought a war and died to stop the practice.  What else do you want?

Democrats especially Northern Democrats were trading in slaves well after the Civil War.  Look into Harvard they were sailing down to the Cuban plantations to study plant physiology.

Fast forward to the sixties and the blacks got their Democrat Civil rights bill.  Don't have any problems with Democrats exploitation.
