Notice they started screeching about a second wave right when a) the riots calmed down a bit and b) Trump started resuming his rallies?

They’re just too predictable.

I've seen people shouting that Trump is racist because he' holding it in Tulsa which was the site of a race massacre on June 19th, or "Juneteenth," is the date Texas receieved the Emancipation Procolamtion, and was the last state to hear it.

I have never heard of Juneteenth or people even celebrating it until maybe a year or two ago. I grew up in Texas. Nobody fucking celebrates Juneteenth. Not because they're racist, but because nobody has ever fucking heard of it.

Isn’t it strange how I’ve seen the exact same posts from ‘friends’ via Facebook all within hours? It’s almost as if there’s a coordinated effort to push a specific narrative and stupid people and/or political pawns who up until now likely never heard of Black Wall Street, suddenly are outraged. You know, not to brag or anything but I’ve got so many friends who are lawyers, electoral districting experts, political analysts, epidemiologists, herbal medicine experts, and many more. Most of them just happen to be an u we driver or bartender just b/c the economy is so bad, and the deck is stacked against them.

It's because all of our Facebook amigos and the "regular people follow the accounts that essentially get marching orders directly or indirectly from those pushing the narrative.

And what makes it so bad is that it falls under the guise of public opinion. Some genius somewhere figured out that propaganda is more effective when a big media story is pushed, then unsuspecting people just check social media and they’re bombarded with that same narrative, but in the form of memes or a colorful background with bold text and there’s a misspelled word or something that makes the consumer believe that it’s public opinion. The acceptance of transgender (gender dystrophia) for example could not have happened IMO without the social media outlets so commonplace today. People talk about ESPN and stuff, but these athletes and such also have a huge influence on Public opinion despite how crazy that sounds. People idolize these people, and when they push a narrative, the consumer doesn’t want to hold an opinion contrary to someone they see as a Demi-god.

I grew up on the West side of Dayton (I'll let you research the demographics) and I have never heard "Juneteenth" in my life.

Yep, grew up in the South. Heard about MLK, Black History Month, slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, de-segregation, etc. It was the focus of most of my history in school. I had to look up "Juneteenth" a couple weeks ago. I don't have much problem with black people wanting to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, but it's not something they always did. It's also a fucking stupid name for it.

Exactly. Juneteenthis a terrible name. Call it Emancipation Day. That way, everyone knows what it is.

He probably picked that day and that location for a reason, because this rally is where he'll make his pitch to black America. The Dems just wanna poison the well.

So predictable, and I’ve even seen a couple posts about Tulsa, OK being such a racist city, Black Wall Street and all. You can’t win with these people, we have to defeat them.

That $450 million we’ve been giving to WHO for years has really come in handy during this pandemic.
