The truth shall set you free, Little E!
Who was the opposition to the Emancipation Proclamation?
The opposition Democratic Partythreatened to turn itself into an antiwar party. Lincoln's military commander, General George McClellan, was vehemently against emancipation. Many Republicans who backed policies that forbid black settlement in their states were against granting blacks additional rights.

Ok. Are you voting for Joe 2024?
"The Republican Party's opposition to the expansion of slavery, therefore, encompassed a distinctive moral protest against slavery itself, but also contained, at least for many Republicans, a racial concern that the territories be reserved primarily for free white people."The truth shall set you free, Little E!

Yes, it’s this obscure right-wing, Maga search engine known as Google.
I used the white supremacist phrase:
“what party opposed the emancipation proclamation”
What meaning did you intend by " the day the Republicans voted to free the democrats’ slaves"?
This is a cool story on Juneteenth
North Texans walk with activist Opal Lee to celebrate Juneteenth
Forth Worth activist and grandmother of Juneteenth Opal Lee led North Texans in a 2.5-mile walk to commemorate the end of slavery in Texas after the Civil War.

I support Juneteenth as a holiday. Here’s well-reasoned support of it by Condoleeza Rice.
Condoleezza Rice: Juneteenth Is Our Second Independence Day
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, and freed the last enslaved people in the Confederacy. When we celebrate their freedom, we celebrate America itself.

I get your gut reaction to it. We take 1/12 of the year to celebrate someone’s sexual preference - and throw in another day as well.
We celebrate Black History month when, as Morgan Freeman states, Black History is American History. Of course, I’ll defer to the final arbiter of “blackness”, President Biden, before I make a final judgement on the validity of Morgan’s view.
It's no different than pandering to everything else. Pandering and creating ways to separate us. And for the record, it's not the concept I have a problem with. It's not even "Juneteenth" despite how stupid that sounds for a name. We need to stop making everyone a victim for anything and everything people can dream up.Your <*****> opinion is noted.

Exactly. I don't give a damn what Morgan Freeman thinks. He said, "stop talking about skin color" and you know that's not going to sit well with Mr. You ain't Black. How is the 'Tato going to get votes if he can't tell black folks they're oppressed whether they want to be or not?I support Juneteenth as a holiday.

I have no problem with the celebration of this day. Its an important event in AMERICAN history whether its April 16 or June 19, but I do think it would be more meaningful to call it Emancipation Day. Juneteenth is fine as a nickname, but it comes across as a made up name which takes away from the importance of the event.
How does having Black History month, or Pride month negatively impact you? It has no impact either way on my life. My buddy and I joke that Father's Day is more like Father's Hour, and Mother's Day is like Mother's Weekend.

San Diego Police traffic stop prompts internal affairs investigation
The San Diego Police Department’s Internal Affairs division is investigating a traffic stop where an officer smashed a Black driver’s window after he refused to consent to a search.

Yeah, the name is part of what I think is pandering. Frankly, I don't think anybody needs months. We need unity right now more than ever and you can blame whomever you want for that. Obama... Trump... Biden... take your pick. I think most of these groups are nothing but attention whores. I don't need to see your rainbow flag at my soccer game. Nobody gives a shit that you're gay. What you REALLY are is an attention whore. Same for the fat guy banging the drums there, or telling the sheep when to clap, standing on a scissor lift and spends 98% of the game staring at the crowd. That's equally moronic. I'm not there to listen to you incessantly bang drums or have my view blocked by your stupid flag. I'm there to watch the match... not give you more attention. But the bigger issue for me is social. Trying to change "Mother's Day" to "birthing person day". I mean, really? Are we really going to build a statue for George Floyd? Did ANYBODY watch the video, read the autopsy report or bother to look up his criminal history? Are we really going to give millions of dollars to his family? For what? He overdosed while on drugs and resisting arrest. Are we really going to put tampons in the boys bathroom? Are we really going to let genetic males compete with females and let them use female locker and bathrooms because they want to? We've lost our collective minds as a country.
Just like these parades. My best friend from high school is gay. I have a gay family member with a great partner I love dearly. They're happy. I don't give a rat's ass who you love or marry. But do you need a month? Do you need a flag? Do we need to only have mixed race couples on television commercials now? Why is BET (black entertainment television) acceptable? More division. And "pride" parades. Do you need to have these? Why does it need to be sexualized? Why the shock value and tranny story time? It's not healthy and, frankly, all it does it piss people off that already have a problem with homosexuality.
Regardless the belief, the actual behavior needs to age appropriate. The left has trouble threading that needle and instead claim its "banning" or homophobia. It's why the woke movement and those pushing it lack credibility and are actually losing support. The woke have jumped the shark and the movement is self-defeating. DEI is on its death bed. For me its not worth worrying about. Maybe if my kids we're younger, but they're bigger skeptics than I am.
The left loves to chase votes by telling anyone and everyone they're victims and need to vote for the party of pity to be rescued.
So you buy into that shit? Prisons are disproportionately black, too, right? I guess crime statistics showing violent crimes are committed (disproportionately) by black people can't explain that? Black folks make up 13% of the American population but commit 60% of violent crimes. Should we only arrest 13% and let the rest go? What race was on video attacking Asians during Covid? What race is the one teaming up to do smash and grabs in retail stores? You want to be thugs? Live and die by it. Don't blame cops for that. No other race is out there whining and crying about cops. You earn the bias because your actions warranted the bias.I lived in or near San Diego for 50 years. I'm guessing that is why this showed up on my FB news feed --

Do prisons need to only be 13% black? Why do we ignore the obvious and pretend the numbers don't pencil out? And let me guess, Hoskins throwing up gang signs all over his facebook everyday, by his own admission, because that's what INNOCENT people do every day, and hanging out with his cousin on parole, because that's what INNOCENT people do everyday, is just a misunderstanding, right? Live and die by it.

Good point about the naming of the holiday.
If I were to have guessed what a wingnut response to this post about the behavior of a couple of SD cops would have been, I couldn't have done better than that.
