Unfortunately it's been the same story for hundreds of years, and politicians manipulate it. Back in the day, the ignorant nativist types hated the Irish, Italians, Asians, and locked them out of neighborhoods, and blamed them for stealing their jobs and accused them of hooliganism on the regular. 

 

It's just tribalism from the uninformed groups of our society. Same story, different era. The party of the rich always divides the poor against one another and foments racial hate amongst the average population and the ignorant in order to serve their own interests. 

 

True and this also is a classic political manipulation......Ironically "racist Texas" was the first state to make it a state holiday in 1979.  Nobody bothered to submit federal legislation to make it a federal holiday until 1996.  The idea that politicians give a shit about this is hilarious.  It's a classic PR move based on BLM/George Floyd.  Nothing more.

They aren't black only holidays. Ending slavery and celebrating MLK apply to everyone!

Not for old racist white dudes!

And LOL at LittleRacist claiming the holiday is unnecessary then whining that Trump led the charge on that same holiday

@Little Earl is just pissed he worked his whole life to get 1/4 the benefits of most first world countries in a system that is scaled correctly from the early 1900s would only require about 8 work hours per week at this point to have a living wage and full benefits. 
 

these old people need to hurry up and die so the world can advance socially and economically.


I really think there should be a limit to voting after a certain age.. just like there's one to limit before a certain age. They are equally manipulatable.

Ok dildo brain.    We have $30 trillion in debt, we don't need another free day off or any more handouts.    

Yeah.... that 1 day saves everything. Work on a day off on your own.
