Dh actually mentioned a vendor fair in honor of Juneteenth, but it is actually being held tomorrow. We may go to that and see what there is to see.

[early morning]

Contemplating our world and the places of differing peoples within it, I hope to do my (admittedly very small) part at bringing equity by treating all people as fairly and kindly as I would like to be treated. I try to use the Golden Rule as my mantra, and I strive for grace and dignity in my interactions with others - although I often fall far short. Very very short. Days like today are good reminders to me to keep working on that.

imo, your attempt at a Black accent is offensive, as is your comment.

Not funny at all.

Juneteenth is NOT about" sitting around doing nothing and getting high" or a non-Black person try to emulate their idea of Black speech.

THIS is what the holiday is about:

" a holiday celebrated on June 19 to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation."

Your contempt for the holiday says much about you. And none of it is flattering.

Okay, let's make a deal:

You stop making racist comments and I'll stop "bullying you."

I will stand up for people of all races and persuasions until that happens.

Deal??
