Reflections From a Murky Pond

Yep. I totally spaced that yesterday was Juneteenth, the day that Whites, specifically White Republicans, freed the Blacks from slavery. 😆 Yeah, well, I don’t keep track of uselessly manufactured holidays, especially ones that are lies propagated to pander to and appease the Blacks. I’m not much into clutching pearls over feel-good falsehoods.

In point of historical and legal fact, Juneteenth has its basis only in the forced end of slavery in the Confederacy. Delaware, a Union state, still had slaves until Dec 6th, when the 13th Amendment forced their emancipation, against the wishes of the state. Also, New Jersey, another Union state, still held Blacks in slavery until January 23rd of the next year, though the numbers at that point were less than 20. Furthermore, slavery was alive and well in the Indian Territories until the next year as well.

Juneteenth is a celebration of the completion of the eradication of the Confederacy, not the actual end of chattel slavery in America.

And Another Juneteenth

Well, it’s another Juneteenth – the second one as a federally mandated holiday. It’s also the second federally mandated holiday specifically for a singular race and, like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it’s for- and about the Blacks within our nation’s borders.

Ah well. While I’m disgusted by a race-based – even more a second one – federal holiday since this violates the whole spirit of America, Juneteenth does give me a great, if not really needed, excuse to present some beautiful Black babes for our enjoyment. And… who’s really going to complain o’ermuch about a day off from work with pay?

My First Juneteenth As An Actual Holiday

This is not my first awareness of the Juneteenth “holiday.” Nor is it the first time I’ve raised a drink for it. With one of my wives being Black, I’ve been aware of the date and what significance it’s been held to have for well over 20 years. This is, however my first Juneteenth when it was an actually federally recognized and generally observed holiday. I’m even getting a day of with pay because of it!

Hence, I’m spreading the celebration of this day with a plethora of examples of why there was a serious and pervasive upside to the South losing their bid for independence and the Blacks being given their freedom and personhood.
