Juneteenth Day and My Two Cents

Today is a day which on June 19th, 1865
the last of the slaves were free,
yet after the civil war the slaves still worked like slaves,
in the 1960's we had the Jim Crow Laws and segregation,
then we had the Equal Rights Movement,
and now there is still racial inequality
and unequal justice in America.
Reflect on that my friends.


Happy or is it?
Juneteenth Day.
May we finally put an end to systemic racism.
And may we finally have racial justice;
in which the blacks and browns are not murdered by the cops,
like what happened to George Floyd
who was murdered live on tape
as a corrupt cop kneeled on his neck for over 8 minutes.
May these bad apples of cops,
which there are many good ones out there -
I have some friends who are cops
and will be working with them when
I become a Private Investigator,
face justice which many used to get away with murder.
I stand with the blacks - for their lives matter too.
We are falling backward toward the 1960s,
and the evil Jim Crow Laws, the rise of hate,
and now have a Covid Crises.
Under the Trump regime America has fallen backwards
so far that I think it is going to take two terms of Biden
and another 2 years with a democrat, a decade,
to get back to where we were
under the true presidency under Barrack Obama.
Where we had democracy, environmental reform,
DACA - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,
a Pandemic Response Team, a Strong CDC and EPA,
and healthcare reform.
Trump has spent his presidency to undo every good thing
Obama has done.
However after the protests,
there is going to be equal justice reform, defund of police in
which there will be programs to support other services IE
mental health, homeless reform, and others that the police
should not be involved with.
And I am happy with the two wins from the Supreme Court:
The equal rights of LGBTQ in which they cannot be fired
from their job because of their sexual orientation, though I do
NOT agree of what they do, I will not judge them for it;
and the DACA win in which Trump was trying to dismantle.
He is also trying to dismantle the Affordable Health Care Act
in the middle of this Covid Pandemic.
If we can survive just a few more months of Trump,
get him voted out with Biden,
and Ruth Gader Ginsburg stays around in the supreme court
for a little while longer so Trump does not get another
corrupt justice in the supreme court,
then we can get America going forward again.
This has been My Two Cents.
Thanks for reading my view on this Juneteenth Day.


Have a day of forgiveness for someone who wronged you,
have a day of fighting for equal justice and racial equality,
have day of a conversation to one of a different race
to gain an understanding of him or her,
and have a day of reflection of what you want your future to be.
