  Juneteenth:

  A day in history, when a Republican president abolished slavery.

  But yet, this network supports liberalism lol

  Maybe for Texas ports…the day of the ratification of the 13th amendment is the real holiday.

  I wouldn't mind Juneteenth as a national holiday and get rid of MLK Day and Columbus Day.

  Incidents "here and there" does not constitute systemic racism. Notably, according to the report, the union is 75 percent African American. It seems to me that statistic may constitute the need for an affirmative action plan to integrate the union with non-African American members in a country which is 14 percent are African American, in a state which is less than 7 percent African American.

  Thanks for mentioning and explaining Juneteenth!! General knowledge right there. The BLM movement is still on our minds and protests are still happening. We are becoming more aware of what needs to change. But moreover action is needed. Let's not let this momentum die down. Here are tips on how we can sustain and really make change stick: youtu.be/hEe67ogiKLg

  Systemic racism is being mis-identified. Hanging nooses is not systemic racism. Target is paying time & 1/2! Wow I should invest in that company.

  75% black employment force and still has "systemic racism"… I wonder where it's coming from…

  People will discriminate to the end of time. Organizations can reform but it seems to be human nature to compete, and competition is a subtle form of war.
