Juneteenth

If you're celebrating the arrival of emancipation to Texas today, please take a moment from blaming The Evil White Man for slavery and remember that it was predominantly white men who fought to make that possible.

Over three hundred thousand men died to free the slaves.

Nearly all of them were white.

It seems very racist to blame an entire race for slavery when so many people of that race have done so much to liberate and equalize people of other races.

That such people exist does not absolve white racists of their crimes, it's just that they're not a majority and we don't like them either.

    A late comment ... and the English Navy put an end to slave ships on the ocean. The only slave from Africa continued a bit north over land routes, to the lands of The Religion of Peace countries....
