Trump's Juneteenth rally

So I just want to add, that the campaign responded to people's concerns. From a fox news headline regarding C.J. Mccollum's Twitter questions of Trump.
[/quote]"As the party of Lincoln, Republicans are proud of the history of Juneteenth, which is the anniversary of the last reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. President Trump has built a record of success for Black Americans, including unprecedented low unemployment prior to the global pandemic, all-time high funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and criminal justice reform. Joe Biden spent last Juneteenth raising money at a private fundraiser and defending comments he made celebrating his work with segregationist senators," Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign said.[/quote] https://www.foxnews.com/sports/trail...lly-venue-date
Of course, my personal issue with the above statement is that Trump's rallies appear to attract an enormous amount of racial tension, more so than any other president in Modern History, and he has a history of what I would consider at its best, complete idiocy, complementing white supremecists in public. In a time when racial tensions are so very very high, I would expect anyone absolutely anyone, who has a shred of self dignity to choose someplace that might not attract such tension. Of course Donald Trump has shown that he essentially enjoys the attention he gets from being a butthole.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

JUST ANOTHER LEFT-WING HOAXOriginally posted by DivineOb View Posthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/histo...race-massacre/
Trump has announced the first new rally he is going to hold will be on June 19th in Tulsa Oklahoma.
For those unaware, June 19th is the date when the last slaves were freed at the end of the Civil War.
For those unaware, Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the site of the worst racial violence in the USA where up to 300 African Americans were murdered in 1921 at the hands of white mobs.
I've been assured that Trump is not racist. It is hard for me to come up with a simple explanation for why he would hold his first new rally one that date in that location which doesn't have an anti-black component. I would be curious to hear any explanations which paint this benignly and which don't amount to "Trump does stuff" or something along those lines.
For example, from Vanity Fair: "The president will hold a large event in Oklahoma, 99 years after the city's infamous race massacre. Al Roker, on NBC's Today show made a similar claim while trying to goad Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott into denouncing Trump.
This led to responses like this from Senator Kamala Harris: "This isn't just a wink to white supremacists — he's throwing them a welcome home party."
Only one problem.
It is not true.
Yes, Tulsa experienced one of the most bloody race riots in America but it wasn't on Juneteenth as many have either outright declared and others have implied. You see, the riots took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921 -- well over two weeks before Juneteenth (June 19th).
Once again reality rains on the TDS parade but don't expect them to stop making this claim regardless of the facts of the matter or finally start wondering just how many times does the MSM have to shamelessly lie to them before they stop mindlessly regurgitating every claim they make.
I'm always still in trouble again

The WaPo and several other MSM news organizations have been trying to get folks to believe that Juneteenth, aside from the day that commemorates the end of slavery is also the time when Tulsa experienced one of the nation's worst race riots when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses in Tulsa, and that Trump picked Tulsa to kick off his campaign rallies as a way of sticking a thumb in the eye of black Americans.
For example, from Vanity Fair: "The president will hold a large event in Oklahoma, 99 years after the city's infamous race massacre. Al Roker, on NBC's Today show made a similar claim while trying to goad Republican South Carolina Senator Tim Scott into denouncing Trump.

Calling this a 'hoax' only 1) proves the veracity of prior 'hoaxes' and 2) is just another way of insulting 'the coloreds' for being too stupid to know their own history until the 'white man' explains it to them.Last edited by DivineOb; 06-12-2020, 01:11 PM.

In the latter case Roker declared that:
hundreds of African-Americans were killed during racial unrest in 1921 on Juneteenth
I should add that it was a black co-worker who this morning noted that the rioting took place weeks before Juneteenth (June 19). Apparently the left thinks or at least hopes that blacks are too ignorant to know their historyLast edited by rogue06; 06-12-2020, 01:20 PM.

I don't actually think he chose this date for its significance, or to otherwise make a statement.

Would it be horrible celebrating the proclamation of freedom of slaves by having a political rally on this day? Or, is have Democrats coopted this for themselves? Only Democrats are allowed to celebrate this freedom?

So in your view she's wrong when she said that the Tulsa riots didn't take place on June 19th?

Al Roker did not claim that the massacre happened on Juneteenth. Because of course he didn't.
