"For some people, getting handouts is a better deal than earning a living."

@apex_prowler95 3 месяца назад

What handout is that? Wasn't Juneteenth a paid holiday for you? Did you go to work for the money or did you take the free money! Lots of people in these comment sections are not the best and brightest.

@Cat_Lover365 3 месяца назад

I am so tired of this....they want to tear down monuments and get rid of reminders of slavery one day and then they want special days. What is Juneteenth for? In this country, there are only Americans who have varied and diverse heritages that no one should forget. You want to know how not to forget the mistakes that mankind has made and learn from them? Teach our kids real American history so that future generations don't repeat those horrible mistakes again.

@thepatriarchy8443 3 месяца назад

They don't WANT people to move on; it's all about using dissatisfied groups as a hammer against the rest of the country. First, the left tried dividing everyone by class, and when that didn't work, they moved on to race. Even that wasn't enough, so they had to invent all of these "marginalized" categories of people. The goal isn't even really to help these folks, not truly, but rather to use them to gain power.

Whilst this subject matter continues to be discussed, by current Politicians, the continual "opening" of old wounds, STOPS ALL Americans coming together. Surely, ALL Americans want the best for themselves, their respective communities, their country. The complete "healing" process will not even begin, never mind end, whilst "raking up" the past.

Are we going to blame the country that actually started it, Africa? They traded the slaves off for merchandise from the British, then brought them to America. After the war, there was three ships provided for those who wanted to go back could. Why would they not knowing what would await them back in Africa. This was an up and growing country, they wanted to stay.
