On Juneteenth

 Are Holidays aimed at ANY subset of society, the best way to Unify a Society and do they tell the whole story?

While Juneteenth has been established to celebrate the last gasp of Slavery in the USA, It is equally important to remind people that Americans didn't originate even the concept of slavery, but we paid a considerable price ending it here.

Those same Black Slavers who captured their fellow countrymen in the Med and Western Africa and then sold them around the world, also sent out Corsairs to loot shipping and enslaving the crews. They also raided the Coastline from Gibraltar to the North Sea; Iceland and Greenland taking slaves and reselling them throughout the Med. It has been recorded that entire villages along that western coast completely disappeared without any record.

The Egyptians enslaved the Israelites, the Mongols, the Slavs, Alexander took slaves as well as the Romans, the English enslaved and sold the Irish.

We have developed a seriously bad habit here of acting on the misguided notion that we as Americans spawned every single sin and aberrant behavior plaguing all of mankind while apparently believing the rest of the world's population was anesthetized; living oblivious and tranquil existences.

I saw some stats not long ago that showed the number of Irish and Asian deaths here, attributed to abuses committed on those populations via Indentured Servitude, being "shanghaied" ( At least one of my wife's relatives fell victim to being taken - never to be heard from again )and enslaved dwarfed the deaths of African-Americans living in chains here. At the height of the slave years here, it is recorded as many as 1.25 million "white" slaves were sold to the British/American colonies.

Lastly, a little known and inconvenient fact that dilutes the Black/White stigma the Left insists on emphasizing; an 1830 record lists 3,775 Slave Holders of mixed and/or African ethnicity. (see attributes in the comments)

My point being, mankind of all shades has had a penchant for abusing his fellows, of all shades ever since Cain killed Abel. Our damnable skewed fixation on the abuses here has raised several generations of kids who have then wound up in protests spitting on returning War Fighters in the 60's or demanding the extermination of Jews, today; demanding that people who never owned a slave or whose lineage doesn't hold that history pay a reparation to people who were never slaves all because of a heavily slanted Academia which seeks first to sow discord with the ultimate goal of dissolution.

Every single Historical example of a societal shifting disassembly/reconstitution of governmental philosophy has had its own form of an intelligentsia fueling the street-thug protest movement manned by those indoctrinated in what to think versus how to Reason. This current crescendo of race-baiting voices is not the tip of the spear, rather it is just one spear in a phalanx of spears, insinuated upon American society aimed at increasing emotional responses among the Right-brained and keeping the Left-brained on the defense.

It is impossible to predict the final resolution to this latest example of social decay but it is clear we are in the third stage of the three-generation rule having failed to properly teach kids in the past 70 years; raising an entitled, shiftless, unappreciative, historically ignorant and Godless segment of the population that thinks setting a form of IED is preferable to conversation. That seeking to eliminate certain unalienable Rights and thus the philosophical premise of the pre-existence and pre-eminence of the uninfringeable Right while, ironically demanding new "Rights" which include codifying Infanticide is somehow congruent.

Make no mistake, these things are in fact interrelated with one end goal; 

The dissolution of a Nation.
