Obama apologists had to mine the archives to come up with references that he himself likely never read. Funny how Youtube seems not to have any of President Obama's Juneteenth speeches. Shouldn't there be 8 of them? Maybe they were censored by the same guy who scrubbed that other left wing group you've never heard of. *** Trump commutes Roger Stone's sentence. Pretty balsy even for POTUS not to wait until after the election. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-commutes-longtime-adviser-roger-stone-s-prison-sentence/ar-BB16AZr7?ocid=msedgntp You were wrong. That’s it. There really was no need to reply. Juneteenth is something people, including Obama, knew about. Instead of trying to save face, you could just admit you’ve learned something about black history over the last month or so. It would be a much better look. But if you insist on playing the character... 1 Link to comment

His admin released a statement during his very first Juneteenth in office (probably more, but it was the first link that came up when I Googled "Obama Juneteenth"). Is this really an argument you are trying to have? There is no room for opinion here, Juneteenth was a thing long before this past June. Again, take the chance to admit you learned something. Denying reality really doesn't lend credence to your other posts. I don't see how admitting this would force you to change any other view you've shared on the board. Edit: Did I know what Juneteenth was before this year? NO. I didn't. But I took the time to do a little research and learn some interesting American History. Novel concept, this continued learning... 5 Link to comment

Notice how they devote about 2 lines on how Obama celebrated Juneteenth while actually POTUS, and cite only that it was mentioned in official statements. Official statements are written by the PR team. just because Obama's name is on a statement in no way means he even read it. The fact is Obama did not celebrate Juneteenth while he was President. The idea that it was a major event in the US was invented this year as a reason to blast a Trump rally. And you knew it. 3 1 Link to comment
