Juneteenth--Another Made Up Holiday For Lazy Minorities

[WWJDnow]

It just burns my britches that black people, who bear the Mark of Cain, now have two holidays, Martin Lither King Jr. Day and Junetenth, when hard-working white people don't have any. It's white people who founded this country, white people who nurtured it, white people who funded it, white people who fought for it, and white people who made it what it is today. But do we ask for our own special holidays? No. Because we believe in hard work, not taking extra days off. Why can't minorities be more like us?

Mark my words, if we let Biden stay in the White House much longer, we'll soon be celebrating Cinco de Mayo and whatever the birthday of the Frito Bandito is, too, as national holidays. And Crippled Lesbian day won't be far behind. Jesus is watching us, and He does not like what He sees.

It is shameful how ne'er-do-wells game the practice of holidays. If they succeed with "Juneteenth" they will then move to make their escape from Africa a holiday, "Escape from Hell Day."

Black history MONTH??? On top of all the other days?

They seem to think white people weren't slaves too. Here is something the woke crowd don't want to talk at you about:

Slavery in ancient Rome
Slaves numbering in the tens of thousands were compelled to work in the mines or quarries, where conditions were notoriously brutal. Damnati in metallum ("those condemned to the mine") were convicts who lost their freedom as citizens (libertas), forfeited their property (bona) to the state, and became servi poenae, slaves as a legal penalty. Their status under the law was different from that of other slaves; they could not buy their freedom, be sold, or be set free. They were expected to live and die in the mines.

Now where's MY month off?

I'm going to go against the crowd here and say I don't have a problem with the blacks getting their very own Colored Only holiday in the middle of June. It's only fair. They have to sit out while all the other races celebrate Father's Day.
