    So in your view she's wrong when she said that the Tulsa riots didn't take place on June 19th?
    Sorry, I misread what you said your coworker said. No, the massacre did not occur on Juneteenth obviously.

    But since your only example of someone claiming the massacre *did* happen in Juneteenth is incorrect I'm still waiting for a solid example of "the left" claiming it *did* happen on that date.

      If not, then why are they so upset?

      Does that mean nobody can have a political rally in June in Tulsa ever? Or is this just another straining of gnats in order to try to claim Trump is racist by the democrats?

        I'm not going to waste time on this. You clearly understand the symbolism.

          Clearly you have no answer so you are running away.

            Shhh. The monuments are being built to praise the Democrats for this achievement. Statues are being built of Pelosi and Schumer to replace those torn down of General Lee.

              Because back then, Republicans were called Democrats, and Democrats Republicans. Yes, absolutely.

              That's nothing more than right-wing spin. While not universally-so, black people have historically been/voted Democrat, which means you're arguing that black people are "still fighting" to keep black people on plantations.

              ... which is just as stupid as it sounds.

                If the symbolism weren't obvious Rouge wouldn't be trying to inaccurately claim that Democrats were misstating the date of the Tulsa Massacre. It's just a transparent attempt at "flooding the channel with [nonsense]."

                If I'm going to avoid accusations of OCD can someone else chase down these transparent RWNJ nonsense claims for a change? It's impossible to listen to Al Roker and conclude that he was saying the Tulsa massacre occurred on Juneteenth. Unless you think PoC are stupid, of course.

                  Very well, I won't egg you on. Sorry.

                    Go ahead if you want but this is a dry well because Trump's intent is so transparent.

                      Um, no. It is the uncomfortable truth that the left needs to ignore.

                      As I noted elsewhere, the Democrats are the one who appointed Robert Byrd as Senate pro tempore (making him third in line for the presidency even after using the n-word twice on national TV.

                      The major Civil Rights legislation of the 50s and 60s would never have passed without the strong backing by Republicans in Congress.

                        Al Roker did not claim that the massacre happened on Juneteenth. Because of course he didn't.
                        Add 17 seconds. It appears that I missed an "and"

                          No longer an issue. Trump has changed the day of the rally.

                            This is moot at this point since Trump postponed the rally to June 20 out of respect for the significance of June 19, but I feel the need to point out that you shifted the burden of proof on this one. It is up to you to provide evidence that Trump deliberately choose the original date and location to send a message, and not demand that others disprove yet another wild eyed conspiracy theory from left-wing lunatics (and I include you in that category).

                              Ha! Trump having respect for something that didn't originate with Trump.

                              That's actually funny.
