Today is the federal holiday of "Juneteenth" which celebrates the last slaves being freed in 1865.  The Union army was sent to the Galveston, Texas area to make sure emancipation orders were obeyed.

This is a fitting holiday because African-Americans deserve to have their legacy known by their countrymen and many U.S. citizens are clueless about the debilitating aspects of slavery.  

As you may know, I do not believe the USA is defined by slavery as that is simply false.  Also, by creating an industry of African-American grievance, bitterness and hopelessness are given a major boost.

Yes, it's tougher for blacks to pursue happiness in this country but that gap has closed dramatically across the board.  In many companies and colleges, African-Americans receive maximum opportunity.

The goal of the United States is to be a fair society that is respectful to all people of good will.  Bigots, of course, reject that. And so do the race hustlers who use historical atrocities for personal gain.  I mean, how despicable is that?

They call themselves woke or progressive or whatever.  But they are exploiting suffering and actually increasing it.

On Juneteenth, I salute African-Americans who have forgiven the sins of the past and are striving to make this nation better in the future.  To them I say: Enjoy the day.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
