I guess taking "X" as a last name has also gone out of fashion.

Fake traditions are so hard to maintain.

Black athletes turning Muslim went out of style with 911.

Today’s generation is much different than the 1960’s when people were fighting for civil rights and everyone wanted to be recognized by their character not their skin color. Today it is quite the opposite.

It's the media that determines what you think people want and what they are fighting for.

Academia. This started because we didn't do a purge of the commies in Universities after 9/11, even though we had plenty of warning from ex-Communists like David Horowitz (who ran a free speech on campus campaigns in the 90s and 2000s against Radical-only instruction) and from the first wave of woke in the form of "Political Correctness"

The Millie chicks running Bud Light Marketing, writing for Disney, etc. all had woke Profs. like Robin DiAngelo and Henry "Ibram X. Kendi" Rogers. These graduates were feted by Big Media worried about digital media and hoping the Millies would help them appeal to then-young-adult fellow Millies, and gave them Carte-Blanche at ludicrously young ages.

Then the whole Women Empowerment bullshit made them promote Female Millies well before their time; the BudLite Marketing Chick was in a position that most people didn't get into until well into their 40s.

There was a pic of the Huff Po editors taken sometime in the mid 2010s. All Females mostly under 40.

So we got a wave of Woke Millie Women, with a sprinkle of younger Boomer and GenX chicks.

Sometimes, the Losers do impose their history - which is why the media and culture is where it's at.

We didn't punish Ayers and the MOVE terrorists enough. Clinton famously pardoned Evans and Rosenberg, and Ayers never spent a day in prison and became a Professor at University of Illinois, Chicago in 1987, just a few years after his last terror attack. Thomas Ayers, his father:

Ayers served as chairman of the Board of Trustees of Northwestern University, the Erikson Institute, the Bank Street College of Education in New York City, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Community Trust, the Chicago Urban League, the Community Renewal Society, the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry, Chicago United, the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, and Dearborn Park Corp.,[1] and served as vice president of the Chicago Board of Education.[2]

Ayers also served on the board of directors of Sears, G.D. Searle, Chicago Pacific Corp., Zenith Corp., Northwest Industries, General Dynamics Corp. of St. Louis, First National Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs, and the Tribune Co.

Here is the famous HuffPo editorial board picture, taken in 2016 by the chief politics editor (holding the camera):



The editor after the one taking the picture was Jennifer Kho:

It's fun looking at their bios and job history, and very explanatory about why and how things are so bad. Kho before taking over HuffPo editorial duties in 2017 and for most of the Trump Admin was... employed by the GuardianUK as their US Editor.

It doesn't even include the ones crawling around under the tables shlepping labia.

A lot of this shit like Kwanza and Juneteenth is ad hoc short attention span faggot fashion fluff, which is why it is so insincere and forgettable. Subversive bonfires of social division that self extinguish, even the perps don't want to waste their time on them.

3rd from the back, in the light colored longsleeve shirt. Big boxlicker vibes.

2nd on the right from the front of pic: Looks like Dark Helmet carried out his reverse rhinoplasty threat against her father, King of Druidia. Big league JAP energy.

But seriously: notice their ages. They're almost entirely gals in their 20s. Be shocked if one or two was a hair beyond 30. That's my biggest point, female and young and only a few years out of Woke Training at College with maybe one 2-3 year job at another place under their belt, these were the writers and editors at HuffPo in politics for 2016.

In any case, here is HuffPo's new Editor, not that it's a remotely relevant site anymore. Welcome Danielle Belton, formerly of Black Greivance website, "The Root".

The Huffington Post is openly a biased "liberal" (as in the modern sense) publication. They are just advocacy for the democratic party.

I used to read The Guardian ages ago, back when they were critical about US foreign policy with regard to Iraq. The second Obama became president, calls to end the war stopped, they were on board for Libya and Syria.

They will tell the truth when it works in their favor to do so, and "their favor" is when "their side" is in power. This is why Fox SEEMS to be the most "fair and balanced" television "news" channel today. All they need to do is tell the truth about the Biden administration. That's easy to do, but they will steer clear on stuff that would contradict US foreign policy. You can tell what foreign policy actually is by what they do NOT talk about.

Guess it doesn't take age or wisdom to take dictation from Mockingbird. Maybe wisdom isn't what the controllers want. All that Ivy League East Coast pretense, just to be in the steno pool by another name. Hollywood suffers similarly with the various spoiled inheritors without an original bone in their bodies lofted into writing and production roles.

Which is why they are dying.

Governments already does infusions of money into our propaganda. As people become more aware of it, they ignore it more and more and propaganda is in everything. See Theaters of War:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theaters_of_War

Been going on for my entire lifetime, it's just more obvious now, although they just see it was "woke" or "bad" or whatever - it's social and political propaganda, political propaganda still works, Top Gun 2 made money. There's no Edward Bernays anymore, the people who do propaganda today, are fucking idiots. Ever wonder why commercials suck? It's because morons get hired to do them through nepotism or loyalty. We're not in a free market today. They just think you have no other choice, and they entirely control the market anyhow.

AmericanKulak says

Which is why we have Juneteeth.

So there's that.

Another "Very famous holiday" literally nobody heard of until a few years ago

I just don't think your average black cares. Probably a few traditionalist out there, likely older grandmas at this point. Young black men for sure don't care. Well off black men align more with whites or at least the ones I know.

Blacks would be better off to align with white people traditions. There's just no community in predominantly black areas having worked all over the south and west sides of Chicago. Sure some houses and apartments are slum lords, but they can't take care of property. There's trash everywhere. No pride in their community. No support network. This is why Kwanza failed and so will Juneteenth.

It's the media that determines what you think people want and what they are fighting for.

I’m speaking of many many many people I know personally who want me to give them special privilege and recognition for their skin color or sexuality and in many cases they even demand privileges and recognition for their mental illness.

Again the problem is the people. They actually have the audacity to demand special treatment because of who they are. This is quite a change in the mindset of America which was founded on the belief that every person is responsible for their own actions and that their actions ought to determine their outcomes.

Clowning is still a thing in Portland!

Juneteeth is superior to Kwanza because we got a holiday out of it.

75.... That math is exponentially wrong. They shoot at each other during their own parades celebrating blacks. I remember this incident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKmx-q2ePqc (sorry YT). I know that entire area along King Drive. King would be so proud....

I'd guess there are 5-10k people that have shot and/or killed someone in Chicago walking the streets still since I was born. The news and media doesn't even catch all of it. It's not a joke, more people were murdered in Chicago than soldiers we lost in Iraq AND Afghanistan over the same time frame. And it was considered a historically peaceful time in Chicago over those 20 years.

And yes I know this is likely satire.

i don’t hate this holiday. ending slavery isn’t a bad thing.

Yes, but Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation only extended to slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in the "north," in states that still had slavery legal but did not join with the Confederacy, still stayed slaves for the duration of the Civil War. It was a disruption tactic, no more.
