    So simply because someone was born a white male this makes them guilty. Lol.

    Never mind the fact that they had nothing to do with it.... Being white is good enough

    Your tone suggests slavery, segregation and denying women voting rights were wrong. Or am I reading too much into that? Wouldn't want to guesstimate........

    Of course they were wrong. It's also wrong to blame someone of doing those things that they never did simply because of their skin color.

    I'm sure you would agree..... But then again probably not, as we can see....

    Nope, I specifically said white males that denied others rights and freedoms. All white males didn't do this. Progressives and liberals didn't. Just your side of white males. ;)

    you said no such thing.
    Thank you for demonstrating your double standards.
    Don't forget that the first Republican president freed the slaves. Democrats have been pissed off about that ever since.

    You always provide the ammo...

    The first Republican president. You can't change history no matter how much you wish you could.

    Parties and ideologies are two different things.

    You should learn history first before you start sticking your chest out over a party affiliation. Republicans were the Progressives then. Dems were conservatives. Parties switched ideologies as you demonstrate on here constantly.

    The fact of the matter is you have demonstrated your willingness to blame anyone who was white for any of the policies of this nation in the past and slavery. So I wouldn't be puffing your chest out too far.

    And as regards to your post above.... Did you know that Lincoln only outlawed slavery in the Confederate States? They kept it legal in the north for some time. So you might want to check into history yourself.

    Anyhow you can go ahead and have the last word because I'm not going to be baited into trouble by going back and forth with you. So you have a good night now.

    We have people from all over the world who identify with where their ancestors lived. A lot of blacks don't know the location of their ancestral home. I can see them identifying with Africa generally in the same way most people identify with their ancestral home.

    I don't see why you folks are torqued over blacks wanting to celebrate. It seems like a step in them taking their place in this country as full citizens.

    I have zero clue what Juneteenth is or want to know. The United States think pods come up with whatever holidays they can to promote their personal agenda's. I stopped paying attention long ago. I reckon for the few who care, it means something for them. So, if they want a personal holiday, more power to them. I will continue to live life like normal as if the day never existed.

    “If you didn’t enclave blacks” lmao!!! I’m closer to the generation that freed them, then got rid of him crow, then gave them affirmative action. You focus on the the furthest part of history and point out that “I enslaved them”. You realize how pathetic you sound?

    Ok. I don't care if somebody is a patriot, especially if they are doing it as virtue signalling. That doesn't make them a good citizen or a good person. I think many Americans are a little too proud of their country, to the point that it becomes a liability.

    Which you haven't established is who you are addressing, so no, that's not "you". Most such people are long dead. Some still exist, but you haven't established any are in this thread. And no, not wanting special treatment based on race isn't that. It is the opposite.

    I stated who I meant. Take it or leave it, that's your problem. Not going to keep harping on it.

    Yes, and so what? There's no upset or blowback over displaying red, white and blue colors.
    We're supposed to count?
    Geezuz, they just want to be from somewhere like other folks.
    Why would someone apologize for where their ancestors lived? Except for Native Americans, we're all from somewhere in the world and many of our relatives left their homeland because it had problems.

    How they celebrate Juneteenth is one concern and the other is whether Juneteenth should be a national holiday. It looks like you're making a case against Juneteenth by going after how people celebrate.

    You accused somebody of something you had no reason to think they did, displaying your prejudice for all to see. It has been called out, so yes, we can move on.

    What's silly is that you find this is a subject to bellyache about.
