1/ What to say about Juneteenth?

Well, I'm glad that chattel slavery came to an end in the states. Not a fan of a bloody civil war. But I understand why those who descended from slaves would want to celebrate their freedom & look to do so on a day that represents a milestone.

2/ I'm not offended by it. Does it warrant a national holiday? I don't know. My attitude is pretty ambivalent. I think most national holidays are unnecessary.

3/ I do suspect that Juneteenth will be used as yet another tool to further advance Critical Race Theory and shame anyone who doesn't bow the knee to the religion du jour.

So I get why many will be annoyed and even angered at the conversation around Juneteenth.

4/ I know that I won't spend much time on it. This is it. I've mostly ignored Pride Month. It'll be the same with this holiday. I don't let liberals and/or pagan set the agenda for when I talk about what.

Choosing when and where to fight is key to winning wars.

5/ In my opinion, these sorts of holidays & months exist primarily as a way for white liberals to posture their culturally defined righteousness.

And I also think those types love it when conservatives react in a way that provides them with a boogyman foil. Don't take the bait.

6/ These liberals are Pharisees who live to say (on social media no doubt), "I thank God I'm not like those bigoted racists."

Sure, sure.

7/ So to the descendants of slaves, I praise God that you have your freedom.

I'd only exhort you to use it to remain free of debt, government aid, and the manipulation of liberals. Never be owned again.

8/ Use your freedom. Excel in your fields, buy property, get married, have children, and raise them to fear only God. Build households so strong that they make the nanny-state shake.

And to those angered by Juneteenth, stop letting liberals play you. Build better. Start local.
