Largest Gator on Record found right here in Alabama.

Who the hell is measuring Gators? Who even does that?

That's gator country for you.

No gods, no kings; only gators.

Even the most moderate Muslim has shaky loyalty at best. If it was up to me, we would ban Islam from America.

Gonna save America from the Dogs by trodding on American ideals. Bold strategy Cotton.

Republican President Donald J Trump of the USA, and the Republicans are not guilty of any of the biased, partisan, anti Republican, anti Trump leftist media and leftist Democrat Party charges, Talking Points, as I have explained in details many times, even with a video link from Politico, Proving me right and Proving us right, for which I was called a liar, and the leftist poster never apologized as I asked him to, and promised to thank him for it.

It does indeed. It's kind of like a mix between chicken and whitefish.

Isaiah 43: 1-2
But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created(A) you, Jacob,
he who formed(B) you, Israel:(C)
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed(D) you;
I have summoned you by name;(E) you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
When you pass near gators,
..... don't go near the gators.

You don't have to defend yourself over the actions of someone else dude.

Cool how Juneteenth is now an official holiday..

It screws everything up if there are 11 federal holidays as opposed to 10. Now a 12th will be needed eventually for the calendar to have evenly distributed breaks. This date was only primarily celebrated among Black Americans prior to this. But on the other hand, there is perhaps a strong enough case for it becoming federal if almost no states still don't recognize it.

Just be honest and say you don’t think the day when the last salves were told of their freedom should be celebrated.

I am neutral and am not agreeing with Sai, but I never heard of the day being celebrated until now. In fact, I always thought it was considered a hollow victory.

Yes, because reconstruction was rolled back and the south found new ways to enslave black men such as convict labor and share cropping.

Its just like any normal day of the year.

You don't think the abolition of slavery is worthy of celebration?

Right…but do you believe that the day the last slaves were told of their freedom shouldn’t be recognized or celebrated?

We had Jim Crow for over a hundred years, and some of its legacy is still prevalent in the South. Reconstruction was a wasted chance.

Edit: I do think Juneteenth deserves to be celebrated, but nonetheless we should remind ourselves the fight isn't over.

reconstruction ended as part of a compromise due to the disputed outcome of the 1876 election in which Tilden was likely the rightful winner.

As Bill Maher said recently, acknowledging we've come along way doesn't mean we're done.

Because I’m suspicious of the belief that the abolishment of slavery shouldn’t be celebrated and acknowledged. Why do you consider this a “hollow victory”?

[American Pere Housh]

You don't think the abolition of slavery is worthy of celebration?

That happened with the passage of the 13th Amendment which was on ratified on December 6th 1865 so slavery in the United States wasn't officially abolished until that date.

I don't. I'm saying some people would view it that way thanks to Sharecropping and the like.

And the abolition wasn't completely implemented until June 19th, 1865. So, again, is the abolition of slavery not something that we should celebrate?

December 6th is when it should be celebrated, not June 19th.

To be honest, I should have expected a bad take from NWR, as he is unironically pro-neoconservative and basically is an establishment Democrat.

We already have a bunch of holidays in December. Why does Juneteenth bother you?

I take no shame in being an institutionalist or what some called “establishment”. I gave up fringe and more radical political and word views for about 6 years now.

And I think the “bad take” here is yours, saying that the abolishment of slavery was a “hollow victory”
