Hard to say, he was leaning left but he was also wearing a red shirt last I saw of him. I guess he made his own path. Instead of going left or right, he went 6 feet down.
We have two summer holidays and one "based on race" because the one "based on race" recognizes the time Union soldiers arrived on the Texan shores and forcibly freed a group of people subjugated based on their race--it just didn't happen to fall on July 4th.
The two holidays recognize two completely different things it doesn't matter when in the damn year it occurred.
But it's for Black people, so he thinks he's not allowed to enjoy it. For him, it's like watching your neighbors having a fun pool party, but they didn't invite you, because you're such an asshole all the time.
Why are you still giving space to his views? I definitely don’t agree with his worldview but he hated enough alive, maybe his viewpoint should stop being perpetuated.
Funfact about dead people. They are fucking dead. The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them. Full fucking stop no fucking argument.
If they are a piece of shit leave them to rot and forget about them. They are FUCKING DEAD.
Apply that same principle to people like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Eichmann. The reason normal people get worried about people in power today is because they were taught about the crimes and twisted ideologies that started WWII and the Holocaust. Burying it and pretending they never existed will give people like that the opportunity to rise again, such as our recently tracheotomised center of attention in this post.

Hitler shouldn't be taught because you don't agree with him? How is anyone supposed to learn from history if you hide everyone that did anything bad. That's how we got Trump. It was a failure of education.
Yeah, it's 1-3 days before it and now that's how I'll remember when summer starts
We can't have summer until we remember the injustice of slavery and the freeing of a quarter million slaves in one of the last bastions of that deplorable practice
It's still how most things are made. Stateside, the prison system is the only slavery left but worldwide, there are many examples still going strong. It's nowhere near as prevalent as it was though
Oh, you're playing with fire trying to be pedantic like this. You're using the astronomical definition which starts on the solstice (some astronomical definitions treat the solstice as the center of the season, but starting at the solstice is the predominant one). Multiple countries use the meteorological definition which includes every day within three months (June, July, August in the Northern Hemisphere). The US has no overarching legal definition, but for example, US maritime law gives a batshit definition of summer as "April 1 to October 31" and winter as all the rest. And culturally in the US, summer tends to start at Memorial Day (e.g. this is when outdoor public pools usually start opening).
There's no "technically" here, or if there is, you're just as right as you are wrong. If anything, given a cultural holiday, it's arguably most "correct" to assess it using the cultural definition.
Built on and consisting of genocide, slavery, wars, violence, crimes against humanity, corruption, hate, racism.
"Amazing" has a different meaning in my dictionary.
I don't understand why you would share anything this idiot ever said. Negative attention is still attention and he deserves none. He's dead, he can't spread his bullshit anymore. Don't do it for him.

It's only "based on race" because slavery was based on race. It's the end of slavery, not "Black people day."
That's like saying July 4th is "all about the British."

At the very least, no one is doing it here. I'd rather have a rebuttal comment if/when a post that tries to do that, rather than seeing these posts
