Mainstreaming Juneteenth is kind of a perfect example of everything the woke do in their culture war, because it simultaneously (1) is the kind of thing they can make others feel like they have to participate in (and wokies can scream at them if they don’t) while also (2) being very fraught with the likelihood that the non-wokies will “do it wrong” or “get it wrong,” (and in that case wokies can scream at them for THAT). I don’t have a single problem with the holiday, groups can decide what’s important to them and when/how to celebrate, but I think what I just described is an obvious phenomenon that pervades every last bit of wokeness and the ways by which they seek to make cultural gains.
Add to it, what does this dopey-ass writer expect? His movement constantly demands that other people and organizations “see” them, celebrate them, just stfu and include them. Making the holiday mainstream is the kind of thing they wanted. Now they got it and they don’t want it anymore? I don’t really believe that (I think the dopey-ass writer is just executing the second technique I mentioned above) but if they don’t like, what happens if it gets taken away again? I bet then this dopey-ass writer would put out an article saying how awesome Juneteenth was when it was just him and the fam, that it became lame when they desegregated it, but that now giving it back to just the fam is like totally the worst thing ever. Can’t win with these cocksuckers, so people should just stop playing.
I actually do have a problem with people celebrating this holiday, and I'll tell you why; I've got a coworker that's going full-on celebration for it, including running down to Galveston TX.
While she was going on about this, she mentioned 'and this is why I don't celebrate the 4th of July'.
While I'm not going to get into an argument about this at work(I wasn't even part of the conversation, just listening in, because fuck getting into that mud pit), that remark both stuck with me and pissed me off to a severe degree.
Yeah. I've gotten to the point that I consider these people foreigners in my country. They will always, always, always consider themselves black and American a very distant second(if at that).
There's a longer rant involved, but that statement alone has basically made me wash my hands of all of this. I'm done. Fuck this shit.
See, this is the part that pisses me off the most; where I live(unlike the 99.99% of reddit and twitter faggots), blacks aren't exactly uncommon. I've interacted with them, dealt with them, and yeah - there are a number that are fairly obnoxious and full of themselves, but I've also worked with those that are, y'know, no worse or better than some other assholes I've dealt with.
Up until friday, I would have qualified the lady in question as falling in the latter category.
Nope. Can't do that any more. Previous assumptions thrown out the window - time to do some re-evaluation.
Personally, I'm not a fan of pepper spray, but other considerations might be in the cards. Yeesh.

Co-Worker is a Black National Socialist, and if you are white, you will need to have at least a pepper spray on you at all times.
American blacks are not foreigners. But the Black National Socialists want to be foreigners. The John Birch Society was right.
