CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 21, 2021
CONGRESS HAS PASSED AND PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED INTO LAW A NATIONAL HOLIDAY FOR WHAT IS KNOWN AS “JUNETEENTH.” JUNE 19TH MARKS THE DAY WHEN FEDERAL TROOPS ARRIVED IN GALVESTON, TEXAS IN 1865 TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE STATE AND ENSURE THAT ENSLAVED PEOPLE BE FREED. THE TROOPS ARRIVED TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS AFTER ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.
SEVERAL COMMENTS. KAMALA HARRIS SAYS SLAVERY IS A LESSON ALL SCHOOLCHILDREN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. WE KNOW WHY SHE SAYS THAT DON’T WE? IT IS A STAIN LIBERALS THINK CAN NEVER BE REMOVED NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT.
ANOTHER FEDERAL HOLIDAY DOES NOTHING TO HELP AFRICAN-AMERICANS WITH AN EDUCATION OR JOBS. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND GOVERNORS OF STATES WITH SCHOOL CHOICE HAVE DONE BOTH. IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT STAINS, HOW ABOUT THE STAIN OF ABORTION? MORE BLACK BABIES ARE KILLED THROUGH ABORTION THAN TEENS AND ADULTS ON THE STREETS OF OUR MAJOR CITIES.
WE DON’T NEED MORE REMINDERS OF OUR PAST. WE HAVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. NATIONAL HOLIDAY. OR AM I A “RACIST” FOR SAYING SO? I’M CAL THOMAS
