Unless she’s Caucasian, her “people” did NOTHING to achieve freedom. It was white folks who freed the slaves. Funny thing about history, it can’t be changed regardless of how much you lie about it.
Ransdell ain’t too damned racist. Yup, white folks did those things, not POC. Things like how they kept slaves they bought from being freed and even when they were “emancipated” they withheld their knowledge of their freedom from them for two and a half years. Mighty damned white of him for a peckerwood.
10X more white northern soldiers died in combat than blacks. 110,100 vs. 10,000. Don’t believe the numbers, Google it. That is, of course, unless you don’t want to know the truth. So, have any of you Juneteenth supporters been invited by your black friends to their celebration? I didn’t think so.
Just a note to those who replied to Charles Ransdell: Please don’t feed the trolls. Just flag them and reply under the main thread addressed to @(Name troll posted under). That gets your thoughts and comments out to others wilthout encouraging the troll. Thank you.
By the way, I flagged each of his comments. What a jerk.

Not sure what Juneteenth is or just want to learn more? One of the Smithsonian museum pages has an excellent, short piece:

Thank you once again, Mr. Lustig, for your sensitivity to important social issues—Juneteenth today and the Ukrainian flag for, lo, these many months.

Hope is a good thing to focus on … I am hoping that we’ll all arrive at enlightenment, and will love all our kin, no matter the color of their skin …
