Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
@jasonwhitlock Definitely bogus. You can thank Sheila Jackson Lee (D) and John Cornyn (RINO-R) of Texas for creating this facade of a national holiday.
The goal was to erase the REAL reason this date gained significance. Democrats should never have control of Texas again. God Bless Texas! ✭
Juneteenth‼️ Republicans freeds the slaves, and continue to help Black folks get off the plantation in these Blue cities. RIP KingFace. One of the first Black MAGA influencers that stood on business for President Donald Trump 🇺🇸👊🏿‼️🙏🏿
Those Democrats are today #Confederate republicans party, Whitewashing history What did those escape slaves do for freedom they join the union to defeat the #Confederate who were pro slavery. From 1960s though today #Republicans are not the same republicans 1865 #HappyJune19th
161 years ago, Republican President Abraham Lincoln and a Republican Congress freed the slaves from the Democrat Party that fought tooth and nail to keep them in chains.
Democrats started the Civil War to preserve slavery. Democrats founded the KKK. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Today if you are celebrating Juneteenth, don’t forget to thank Republicans!
FACTS: Without the REPUBLICAN Party's leadership, there would be NO Juneteenth as we know it!
Republicans in Congress passed the 13th Amendment ENDING slavery.
The Republicans ended legal slavery in America and that's the TRUE history behind Juneteenth! 🇺🇸
Today republicans going back to the 60s would be the confederacy. Today republicans are not the same republicans in the 1800s. I see white people whitewashing history on this timeline as usual.
Is your timeline filled with Juneteenth posts?
They conveniently leave out Juneteenth celebrates the day Republicans freed the slaves owned by Democrats.
Happy Juneteenth to that! ✊
Because this is black folks freedom and independence. Your confederacy, colonize ancestors lost the civil war and they didn't free some slaves until 2yrs later after the civil war. I willing to bet you celebrate confederacy month #HappyJuneteenth
Thanks to President Trump’s legalization of #Juneteenth, Americans can now celebrate the day President Lincoln ended the civil war by signing the Civil Rights Act into law.
While Democrats hide their history, we patriots take this #FreedomDay to pose with our black friends, proving we’re not racist.
I do not recognize Juneteenth, as it was added in 2021 by the Biden administration.
I'm so sick of all these new holidays that never existed, and all are for anyone except white people.
It only creates division!
Yeah the progressive Republicans not your todays confederacy, conservative and Klan republicans going back to the 60s. The slaves fought to free themselves. Stop whitewashing black history. If the south won the civil war the emancipation means nothing.
If you’re celebrating Juneteenth today, be sure to thank a Republican.
It was the Republican Party that ended slavery, passed the 13th Amendment, and fought for freedom. History matters.🇺🇸
