Well on one hand, damn near every conservative I know of or heard gives zero f**ks about the Jews.

On the other hand, every time black folks gain SOME thing, white folks always always have something to say about it.

Now, where's the lie?

You have two holidays based on murder: Columbus Day and Thanksgiving. Hell, we started Memorial Day, and you dear folks hopped on the bandwagon.

Anyway...

Be safe, I'm gonna have some Buffalo Chicken Pizza, keep watching DS9 (courtesy of Zick's big mouth), and crash til work.

I did use a tee to pick some food out of my teeth once. I guess I owe this black gentleman thanks for the help in cleaning my teeth in a time of urgency.

Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862. It became effective on January 1, 1863, declaring that all slaves in the Confederate States of America not in Union hands were freed.

So why make a Texan holiday become nationwide, when it should have been January 1 or September 22? A holiday to celebrate bad communication in the south?

I understand the joy of those finally liberated, but it does seem to be a celebration of failure to spread the word in a timely manner.

It depends, if a person was a shitty person you can still talk about him being shitty, like for an extreme example Hitler. In this case he just tries to make a poor political point over a guy that got killed by the police.
