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.

Yeah, don’t believe the Democrat lie of the “Southern Strategy.” Democrats haven’t changed much at all. They still violently support a slave class for basic labor… and it’s still non-Whites.

It’s sort of hilarious, but it’s also sort of sad. Democrats were all about how President Trump is in the Epstein files, then the files were finally released at President Trump’s repeated orders. All of a sudden, as the famous and influential Democrats were “exposed,” they suddenly started demanding that people ignore the Epstein files because being in them didn’t really mean anything. 😆

Yeah, these Democrats really should have considered the backblast – or is it fallout at this point? – of making a big deal about millions of unredacted, unsubstantiated, and uncontextualized documents, many originating from “anonymous,” unvetted sources.

NOTE: At this point in time, I’m largely withholding any personal judgment upon the vast majority of people listed in the Epstein files, including Whoopi Goldberg. Epstein was a serious power player, and he was “involved” with a large percentage of the wealthy, powerful, and/or influential people around the globe in a variety of ways, many of which don’t seem to have a link to his sex slavery enterprise.

One things all these angry, screaming feminists don’t seem to understand, and never have done so, is that America already had an “argument” much like the one they’re fomenting and the outcome was bloodily decided. They just refuse to understand that they’re likely on the wrong “right” side of history when it comes to killing their unborn children aka abortion.

We’ve heard and read time and time again how the South claimed – and many Southerners still claim to this day – that their secession from the Union, which sparked the Civil War, was predicated upon States’ Rights and the Federal Government’s infringement thereupon. And, in all truth, that is an accurate claim. However, the only States’ Right so violently in contention was the right for citizens to own Blacks as chattel slaves.

And now and in recent times we’ve heard and read time and time again how Women’s Rights are being stripped from them. And, again, it is a single right that is in violent contention – their right to have an abortion for any reason or no reason at all.

Not a very great deal of difference between the two positions since they’re predicated upon the victims of that right not inherently being persons. Both the slaveholders of the 19th Century and Feminists of today strongly believe that their rights trump the basic rights of the victims… who, as they aren’t considered persons, can’t be victims in the first place, merely property to disposed of at will.

OK, there is one significant difference. In the South it was illegal for a master to deliberately kill their slaves except for a small number of reasons, and a few – I believe 4 – masters were tried, convicted, and executed for it. That’s right; the South granted more legal right to life to their property than Feminists acknowledge for their children.

Hence, Feminists really need to consider that they may well be on the wrong right side of history in a many we’ve seen and dealt with before. I doubt it’s a history that they really want to repeat.

Bluntly put, the “My Body, My Choice” argument from the Left is one I’ve heard – or rather read – in the past. It’s an old argument. It is essentially the same argument used by the majority of anti-abolitionists in the decades leading up to the Civil War.

There’s not much difference in fact or law between claiming that you find the enslavement of Blacks to be abhorrent but feel that it’s not your or the government’s place to deny them that “right” and saying that you find killing and unborn child to be abhorrent but feel that it’s not your or the government’s place to deny a woman that “right.”

And the core of both the slavers and the abortionists are the same, that the victims aren’t persons. They’re not and lesser to humans and have no rights and only the privileges granted to them by their betters. In the case of abortion, the privilege to live at all.

So, no matter how you look at it, the Left’s primary argument in favor of abortion is the same argument with the same core foundation as the argument in favor of continuing to allow slavery in the 1st half of the 19th Century. And, given how the Left has violently responded to the probably overturning of Roe v. Wade, it may well lead to something akin to next Civil War.
