But it didn't have to be. Celebrating the day a Republican president freed the slaves could have been a positive thing, but instead it's a day for Democrats to reinforce the indoctrination that keeps black Americans hobbled and voting blue.
Well, it used to be Emancipation Day, right? It was recognized - and with picnics - for as long as I can remember, in the form of peaceful picnics they'd hold in Windsor parks (Detroit just didn't have the kind of green space the Canadian side does, so organizers would rent space there.) Of course, this was way back when Windsor cops still had a height/weight requirement ....
It just wasn't made a huge big deal of otherwise, it'd get a mention on the local news and that was about it.
This is something actually more sinister. It was the day a federal military force that had become the defacto military governor of the state through warfare, declared the mass removal of property rights.
Sure sure, abolish slavery. But the people celebrating it are also the same people who think all property rights should be abolished.
There will be another celebration for the the climate on the day that a soldier puts a gun to your head and steals your car.
Juneteenth is a terrible thing.
Not only for it's ahistorical bullshit revisionism like Kwanza.

Every year.
At the same time.
Without exception.
Yes, we are going to weaponize this. How did you guess?

Except it's not doing that.
