Squad member, Rep. Cori Bush said on Wednesday night that black Americans now need reparations and 'liberation' after the House approved a bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday known as 'National Independence Day'.(Snip)
'It’s Juneteenth AND reparations. It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs. It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid. It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country,' she wrote in a tweet Wednesday night. 'Black liberation in its totality must be prioritized,' the Missouri Democrat encouraged. The fourteen House Republicans voted against the measure for June 19 to become a 'National Independence Day' because

I checked the list of nay voters and found NO one from Ohio. My rep. will not be getting my vote again and where is Jim Jordan on this? Not good for him either.

Ms. Bush, what of the 11 Trillion dollars spend on poverty programs since LBJ's war on poverty. You've had your reparations and you squandered it.
I think you're an idiot.

Have we learned the lesson yet that no matter how much the blacks demand, it is never enough?

# 6 - I worked for an agency, back in the '80's, that gave out the free cheese, rice, whatever to low income people. Stuff was delivered, we never knew what it would be, and we had days set up for the people to come and pick up the stuff. If one person got something and the other didin't (they didn't always send the same amount of different items) we'd get calls all afternoon wanting to know "where's my rice" or "why didn't I get beans." No one ever said thank you, just where is mine!

You want liberation, Cori? Done. I will gladly donate a one-way ticket to Liberia for you. Just let me know.
But National Independence Day is already taken -- it's July 4.
Choose. And go on. But liberate US from your wearisome bellyaching and rioting.

We do not need more National Holidays, especially one celebrating a specific group of people and based primarily on LIES; In fact, we need fewer National Holidays. She is nothing more than a Black activist attempting to make HER own policy fantasies National fantasies. I am White, my college roommate was Black, we had No problem living with each other and respecting one another. Of course , he was not an activist. He was in college to get educated, not to be indoctrinated
into hating Whites and looking for freebies. He has done very well in life.

You give them an inch and they'll take a mile. No one has the guts to stand up to these people and say no. CTH is correct in saying we have to start to stand together and stop this nonsense.

Have a relative who died fighting for freedom for black people ( who were sold into slavery by other black people). My family has paid dearly for reparations. I will celebrate July 4 as independence (freedom) day. Besides. What the heck is kwanza for. Celebrate that

The RINO gov. of MA (Baker) made it a holiday without consultation of the people. He bowed to the democrat and marxist pressure groups.

Personally, I think 9/11 should be a national holiday. A day of remembrance. A day of mourning. Let it be a silent reminder that the USA has enemies in this day and age. It has way more meaning than Juneteenth.

May I suggest "liberation" by granting freedom to leave America permanently? I will personally pay you reparations in the form of a plane ticket to Johannesburg or Nairobi. If you hate this country that much, get the hell out.

I concur, #18. Our sensitive liberals would not risk further angering our muslim friends but if we forget that day we will regret it one day. Shortly after 9/11, I was so appalled that our government did so little to strike back at the animals that brought the towers down, I left a lucrative job, went to the Middle East and carried around an M-249 squad automatic weapon for a time. It made more sense than George Bush dumping millions of dollars worth of good bombs on the mountains of Afghanistan and it gave me what I was looking for.

How about Juneteenth being about giving thanks to White folk for ending thousands of years of slavery?

Its mind boggling how stupid people are in America. MLK Day really did mean something, but Juneteenth is an insult to him. It means nothing, represents nothing and highlights ignorance. At least they could have given it a proper name. Grotesque political pandering which degrades every member of Congress.

We've seen what many blacks do with liberation. Shootings increase along with deaths.

Let's liberate her and those like her, straight out of the USA and to a place where they will fit right in --immediately.
These people are tearing apart this country, one which used to be known for a cohesion anchored in shared history, traditions and values stemming from a cherished set of values as embodied in the... in OUR Constitution.
This movement of the Left is not happenstance. Michelle O had talked about this during the '08 campaign (she says in a speech, "Barack knows... he knows you're goin' to have to change our history and traditions and language." Leftist, Alinskyite to the core, this entire effort is part of a revolution going on under our noses and it includes the "election" of an easily manipulated, enfeebled, highly compromised dolt.

So now, all the federal employees, bankers, and blacks will be allowed to take the day off while the whites and Hispanics must work to pay for their salaries and welfare freebies.

I sometimes wonder whether Cori Bush even sees most Americans. She talks as though she were locked in a dialogue with some white people much richer and more powerful than she is who have been here a long time. That is a lot of people she just does not see, while she argues with this target group to give her more, and with the US Government to force them to it. I used to teach at a university with a reputation for rich, slick blonde haired girls, but the fact is, there were quite a lot of other people there, not so rich, some students with not enough to eat actually. Cori only sees people who have stuff she longs for. everybody else.... she does not care, she does not see.

#5, it’s closer to $26 million or more at this point.
I think that Republican should loudly celebrate Juneteenth - as the day that Republicans legally freed the slaves from their demonrat masters.

June 19th is the date between June 18th and June 20th. 99.9% of Americans don’t know or care about “Juneteenth”. It’s another race-based, in your face pie tossed at Caucasians.
