Feel shame for the fact my ancestors came to the USA in the 1890’s, never owned slaves, and were not racists?
I can be happy for the emancipation of slaves, sure.
But no one in my family has the “moral stain” that biden speaks of. That was an absurd comment designed to perpetuate victimhood.
I’ll toast those freed and those who paid the price to free them. But I feel zero personal shame.

I am actually a bit shamed that we did not do this a whole lot sooner.
The northern white dudes fought for slave freedom.
Southern dudes and professors need
to feel shame.
We all get it!

Even at that tender age I figured that this invention had rendered laces obsolete. No longer would we be bothered by all the tying and tripping and such. I bet Mr. Velcro (Velcreaux?) felt the same way.
Turns out that no such revolution came. Still sorta surprised.
...but was wrong on that one.
It's fine I guess. Just interesting that it takes forever to get things accomplished with government...but give them a day off and that can be put in place in milliseconds...
In these divisive, angry times, we should commend our elected leaders for their selfless devotion to country rather than engaging in acts of naked pandering.
And look to Newark, as well. I know, I know, I'm always tooting Newark's horn, because it's an exemplary city in most ways, but they really did outdo themselves this week:

Feigned or real.
Not necessarily in that order. I also spend eight weeks on the War of Northern Aggression.
(Here it comes!)
Totally serious! Got me again!
But, yes, in English class, I frequently do integrate historical knowledge and analysis.

I think you need to recalibrate and figure out who is the actual puppet here.
I believe there was a good Twilight Zone episode along these lines.
However, since it’s so revealingly of the validity or lack thereof of your thinking, please by all means.
I enjoy watching you look, let’s say less than cogent.
My Great-Great-Grandfather fought for the Union. I have copies of his paperwork. What did you 2 end up settling on as far as whether I could toast him in today's national celebration?
I will honor those brave Union soldiers, black and white, who fought for Emancipation.
I will also condemn in remembrance those
evil men who fought against it.
Many of whom were from Louisiana.
...years.

..........the Mexicans have Cinco de Mayo and the whites have St Patrick Day, so , this new holiday was deserved. As expected, no pushback from the zombie radio host. Just in case that caller is reading this , those days mentioned are not federal holidays and no one is given a free paid day off. There is mail. There is banking. There is also a lot of partying and drinking going on. How soon you have forgotten the month of February and MLK day and Kwanza and Jackie Robinson Day and the Bud Billiken parade. All pretty cool acknowledgements. That's a lot of honor and respect aimed directly at you. Other notable Federal holidays that are looming............BLM Day, I'm Still Treated Like a Victim Day, Pride Day. the very first day a dude legally used a girl's bathroom (the stall will most likely end up at the Smithsonian), the very first day that a boy, pretending to be a girl, raced in a female track event and demolished all previous records. I would be in favor of a holiday honoring Hispanics contributions to our great country, a day honoring the rich history of Nativve Americans, and yes, if Columbus Day has the poodle walkers all bothered, then a day for European contributions to our great Nation (Casimir Pulaski). That's my thoughts. I'll send it to DC to see if it gets any traction.
lets see they are going on toward 20
