The United Kingdom abolished slavery in almost all British Colonies in 1833.
Now if the United States were still British Colonies at that time who is to say that would have still happened how and when it did. But revolution in the other British colonies was not necessary to bring about abolition in those colonies.
You get it, but others will simply let crazy bullshit proliferate around them until their neck deep going “ don’t interrupt an enemy while he’s making a mistake “
Exactly. I have no issue about celebrating the end of slavery. That was a good thing. But let's be honest here- all this shit is really about power through victimhood.
This. ^
I've known about it in Texas for over 40 years now. As an employer, always tried to make reasonable accommodations without bending the knee.
It's always been a serious date to the black community. I can respect the symbolism.
And the first generation Somali immigrant coworker taking the day off out of nowhere the first time ever this year no where near Texas?
It’s a Texas holiday. July 4th is a national holiday. If they say “y’all got the 4th” that’s fucked up. Everyone has the 4th. C’mon.
Father’s Day 2022 gonna be confusing.

Agreed - apparantly it's a Texas thing. I have a friend in his 70s whose aunt was liberated on this date. I learned about it approximately a year ago.
Do we have to reappropriate this too? Cant Texas have anything with it being redistributed to the entire sub-group?
