Morning Reads for Wednesday, June 19

Juneteenth

Two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, an order was read in Texas on June 19, 1865 announcing that all slaves were free in Texas and throughout the United States. Part of the order read: “This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”

        • “Muslim ban” was not a Muslim ban…only from a couple of terrorist countries that scare the heck out of everyone…Muslims from all over the world could and can come…strike one!
        • Some rant on OJ ? Strike 2!
        • What on earth does Trump have to do with the Central Park 5? Strike 3.

        • I didn’t know a birth certificate was Racist! Hillary led the early birther charge herself! That shouldn’t surprise you with her hiring spies for fake dossiers against Trump, loading the primaries against Bernie or using the FBI against the opposition. Is she a racist too!

          By the way, you listed not a single policy that was racist. Telling isn’t it?
