(Audio) The Half-Assed History of 'Juneteenth'

From Bacon’s Rebellion to modern fast fashion: The strategic amnesia about unabolished slavery behind America’s newest holiday.

Juneteenth is just another silly-ass hypocritical progressive-pandering holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States (the draggy-ass behind Mexico and Canada). We pretend that slavery ever ended here (it hasn’t, and the wokiest wokes, along with the rest of us, benefit from slave labor every single day, while pretending that Africa had nothing to do with the transatlantic slave trade apart from providing a neverending supply.

Juneteenth isn’t a bad idea, it’s simply poorly-implemented. All fluff, no substance. It could be different.
