In my post Segregation comes for Independence Day, I said:

I guarantee that social media will explode over White people who choose to celebrate Juneteenth will be accused of racism and cultural appropriation and will be told to celebrate their Independence Day next month.

God damnit, I hate being right all the time.

The Root is The Daily Stormer for Black people.  It is one of the most viciously racist websites on the internet.  It may be worse than The Daily Stormer because it’s actually owned by a major internet media conglomeration that also owns Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Jezebel, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, and The Inventory, which gives it legitimacy that The Daily Stormer doesn’t.  If you want to know The Onion stopped being funny, that’s why.

So here is a new article from The Root.

Make Juneteenth Great Again: The Caucasians’ Guide to Celebrating Juneteenth
Now that Juneteenth is a federal holiday, we created a CRT-free educational curriculum to help colonizer Americans resist the urge to gentrify this celebration.

Hold up, white people.

Now that you have officially discovered Juneteenth,* you need to become familiar with the traditions, customs and history lest you succumb to the Caucasian colonization gene and gentrify this auspicious celebration. Before hopping on the Juneteenth bandwagon, you first need to realize that you have no say in driving the narrative about this special day.

Left to your devices, Juneteenth might become a day when you parade around in African headwraps drinking Hennessy just like y’all celebrate Mexican Independence Day on May 5 by donning sombreros and taking shots of American tequila.** So, to protect the legacy of this special day, The Root created this handy-dandy guide to help you become familiar with existing in spaces you don’t own.

Welcome to the Juneteenth Project.

* I’m pretty sure “discover” means “ruined” in Caucasian. Like how y’all “discovered” America, Tulsa and the electric slide.

The 10 Juneteenth Commandments
As a white person, you may not have heard about the 10 Principles of Juneteenth, but trust me, they’re a thing in the Black community. They were developed in the late 1890s by Rev. Samuel Alouicious Lovelace, best known as the first clergyman to pray until the food got cold.

1. Thou shalt not have any holidays before Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the most American holiday. The only reason anyone would be against it is if they were still lamenting over the loss of slavery (so everyone with a Confederate flag). Plus, when those slaveowners sent the Declaration of Independence to King George, most of America (Black people, women, Native Americans, white people who didn’t own land) were not included in the “all men are created equal part.”

2. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor: No calling the police. Just for this one day, don’t be afraid when a Black person is cooking out in the park or walking around existing. This day is about freedom, remember?

3. Thou shalt not whitesplain: Telling us how you already knew about Juneteenth doesn’t mean anything. You’re supposed to know. Black people know about Columbus Day, St. Patrick’s Day and President’s Day but we don’t brag about it.

4. Thou shalt not take the Juneteenth’s name in vain: No one needs your input. Perhaps the best thing you can do to honor Juneteenth is to keep its name out of your mouth. This thing existed without you for a century and a half.

5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s anything: Don’t ask a Black person for anything on Juneteenth. Leading the Juneteenth celebration at work is not part of Keisha in accounting’s job description. Plus, it’s kinda racist. Would you ask your Native American friend to give a talk on Thanksgiving? Or Columbus Day? Or Independence Day?

Also, there’s this thing called “Google.”

6. Remember Juneteenth and keep it holy: Don’t disrespect Juneteenth by wearing kente cloth or cornrows. And please don’t attempt to celebrate by singing slave songs. Negro spirituals are not made for Caucasian vocal cords or acoustic guitars. We don’t need a Juneteenth anthem.

Juvenile, Frankie Beverly and Maze already handled that.

7. Lean not into thine own understanding: You don’t have to teach anyone about this holiday. If they’re Black, they don’t need it. If they’re white, I’m sure they’ll get by like their kinfolk did for the first 155 years they didn’t know about the holiday. If they’re any other person of color, they rolled their eyes and said “What does this motherfucker want now?” when they spotted you heading toward them.

8. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s Blackness: Again, Juneteenth is not the cookout. You don’t get a one-day pass to use the n-word or to wear blackface on Juneteenth. If you regularly use the n-word, take a day off.

9. Thou shalt not steal: This includes labor, land, wealth, elections, opportunity, education, due process under the law, the right to not be murdered by police officers, voting rights…

10. Thou shalt purchase gifts for thou Black neighbors: Just kidding. I know you don’t have any.

I told you, I fucking told you that Juneteenth would become a Black-only holiday and that White people, if they would be allowed to celebrate it at all, would be forced to so in a groveling and obsequious way while being called a racist the entire time.

I was so fucking right it hurts.

And don’t tell me this is “satire.”  This is a mob boss laughing while he threatens you.

The idea of Juneteeth, a day that celebrates the practical ending of slavery (before it was abolished Constitutionally), increasing freedom and liberty in America, bringing us closer to the aspirational goals of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” is good.

I cannot overstate that.

But immediately, that principle has been yanked away from us like a football out from Charlie Brown and what we are left with is a weaponized, segregated holiday, that gives racist Leftist grievance-mongers a brickbat to attack Conservatives and White people.

The Left instantly turned a day that should be used to celebrate an increase in national unity into a partisan day to drive division.

Twitter has an official policy that states “You may not use Twitter’s services to share false or misleading information about COVID-19 which may lead to harm.”

Fine.  They opened that can of worms, they can eat it.

Look at this:

We all knew this would happen. Ron DeSantis told ppl they could do this. He literally signed a bill telling ppl this was an acceptable form of counter protest.#DeathSantis will be responsible for many more deaths before that law is repealed.

This is factually wrong on several fronts.  The truck that hit the gay pride parade was an accident.  It was not an attack.  She provides a false interpretation of the law that protects drivers from violent attacks when protesters block a street and that law does not allow drivers to run over peaceful protesters or anyone engaged in a legitimate, preplanned march.  DeSantis did not say this was an acceptable form of counter protest.

All of this is false.  This falseness causes harm.

As of the time writing this post, this tweet by a crazy rando has 2.6k likes and 933 retweets.

Then there are these Tweets from actual reporters clarifying what happened:

UPDATE: Driver and victims of Pride parade crash were all part of Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus. Chorus president doesn't believe it was an attack. https://t.co/wB6LPBJ0ND

The false and harmful information has not been curtailed and that user who is spreading misinformation has not been punished.

The absolutely false and malicious statements made against Ron Desantis, going as far as to getting #DeathSantis trending again, should constitute actual libel.

Twitter should be held legally liable for every erroneous Tweet about this incident and should pay damages for them, as well as should be forced to promote factually accurate information about the event.

Conservatives need to shotgun the courts with lawsuits against Twitter for this and when we regain power, make this law as well.

Twitter opened the can of worms where they can censor false and harmful Tweets and promote accurate ones.  They should be forced to eat those worms when it comes to misinformation about conservatives.

Go Woke, go broke.

That is a hard and fast rule of economics.

Dick’s Sporting Goods went anti-gun and got hit hard in the bottom line.

The North Face decided to tell an oil company that wanted to buy employees custom fleeces to piss off, despite 100% of their products being made of materials that are petroleum products.

So it was a shock to the gun world when Arc’teryx decided to combine the mistakes of both Dick’s and North Face and tell a gun company that wanted custom gear to piss off.

Arc’teryx is extremely popular with the tactical and action shooting crowd and they are also a supplier of military equipment.

This email is the sort of thing that goes around the gun-web quickly and makes the gun world boycott a brand.

Considering that the tactical and action shooting crowd drops money on fancy new toys and equipment like water on a forest fire.

USPSA is a fashionista central of $200 all synthetic tactical pants, Salomon trail running shoes, and the latest and greatest in custom molded Kydex gear on a molle belt.  Apparently, all the money that these guys save on handloading goes into clothing.

If you sell to the tactical world, do not piss off tactical/action shooters unless you want to feel the hurt in your profits.

But I digress…

The good news is that Arc’teryx corporate caught wind of what happened and sent out a five-alarm apology and clarification.

“The email screenshot expressing a restrictive policy on corporate sales to tactical industry business was sent out in error. It does not reflect our current policy. The customer has been notified, apologized to, and been put in touch with a representative from the Arc’teryx LEAF business unit”.

So here is what think happened.

Note this important tidbit:

The employee who rejected the request had her pronouns in her signature.

I believe that this Service Coordinator is every bit the stereotype that you’d expect someone with pronouns in her signature to be.

She saw a request from a gun company and unilaterally sent out this “we don’t agree with your values” bullshit not realizing the size of the hornets’ nest she was kicking.

I can imagine that she was even proud of her decision.  “I told my coworkers that I told a gun company to fuck off, and then everyone in the break room applauded.”

Arc’teryx corporate, watching the civilian sales of $250 tactical pants go to zero, panicked and had to apologize and throw that employee under the bus as hard as they could without violating Canadian employment laws.

The most important lesson to learn from this is: anyone with their pronouns in their signature should be fired immediately before they tank your business.

I should have checked earlier, but I got caught doing housework.

They got the news of the incident and the psycho squad came out in full force. Here are just a few samples.

I have to admit that the “White Supremacists targets Debbie Wasserman Schulz for killing” was a nice political advertisement touch. If it came from her and her staff or came from the silly brain of the Fort Lauderdale mayor is still unknown. Ain’t a shame that it turned out to be just an accident by a member of a protected minority?

PS: And police has not released the name of the driver yet. That should tell you enough.

*If you don’t understand the point of this, just look at how many mommy blogs and etsy stores that celebrate “mather’s day” or “single mom’s day” on father’s day.  The Left has to destroy everything and attacking two parent homes is on the top of that list.  So while I’m sympathetic to single moms, especially widows, father’s day is our day and attacking it on behalf of single moms is a partisan attack on the culture war.

White Liberal chick speaks with forked tongue, Kemo Sabe.

I did not check, but my guess is somebody may have pointed out that nowhere in the recently passed law there is anything that had to do with allowing people to use cars as weapons against parades. But at least have a bit of integrity and admit you were wrong, but just don’t state you did not say what you indeed said it and posted it for God and Country to screen capture and keep for the future.

During a Gay Pride parade in Ft Lauderdale, a pick up truck (the preferred weapon of the Homophobic White Supremacists) ran over people, killing one and sending another to the hospital. The driver of the truck, a white man, was arrested and taken away by police.  Mayor Dean Trantalis, was quick to offer an explanation of what had happened:

“This is a terrorist attack against the LGBT community,” Trantalis told Local 10 News. “This is exactly what it is. Hardly an accident. It was deliberate, it was premeditated, and it was targeted against a specific person. Luckily they missed that person, but unfortunately, they hit two other people.”

2 hit by truck, 1 killed at Pride parade in Wilton Manors (local10.com)

“See? There is so much hate against the LGBTQKSHJHDYXBV:DPIUBF Community! We now have proof!”

Well, as usual first impressions specially colored by the paint of Victim Politics tend to be rather wrong. Here is a picture of the white supremacist’s assault truck:

Wait one second, Is that a gay flag? But…but we were told this was a HATE CRIME!

But wait, it gets worse.

The homophobic White Supremacist is part of the Gay community?

Police took the man who was driving the truck into custody and were questioning him. He was wearing a Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus t-shirt.
Justin Knight, the chorus’ president, said through a spokesman that chorus members were the ones injured and that the driver was “part of the Chorus family.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic accident that occurred when the Stonewall Pride Parade was just getting started,” Knight said in a statement. “Our fellow Chorus members were those injured and the driver was also a part of the Chorus family. To my knowledge, this was not an attack on the LGBTQ community. We anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community’s love and support.”

So this is turning out to be a sad accident after all. South Florida for all its faults, it is pretty tolerant and while people may not embrace the overly ostentatious San Francisco style of Gay Pride (Even gays reject the feather and Sherwin Williams Make Up Displays of gayness) full fledged attacks are very rare.

But Mayor Dean Trantalis saw an opportunity to attract attention to the city for the wrong reasons and possibly champion himself as future hero of the oppressed minority group. I would hazard the reason is that Ft Lauderdale’s residents are getting a bit tired of having to boil water every month because broke clan water mains keep bursting all over town. And, of course, right or wrong, he is getting blamed for this infrastructure issue and perhaps he took a chance to divert the attention. Or maybe he is just another jackass trying to get brownie points with the voters by making stuff up and drumming up fear.

Well, at least the driver was White.
