Trump reschedules campaign rally in Tulsa 'out of respect' for Juneteenth
[UPI] President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
 announced he rescheduled his first rally since March in Tulsa, Okla., after receiving criticism for originally setting the event on Juneteenth.

The original date -- June 19 -- marks a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. Between the timing and location, some critics saw the event as insensitive to African Americans, particularly as Black Lives Matter protests sweep the nation.

Tulsa is the site of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a bloody event that killed up to 300 African Americans in the Greenwood District, known as "Black Wall Street" for its more than 300 black-owned businesses.

Trump announced on Twitter late Friday night that the rally date would be moved. # id) ?>

3 Scheduling on "Juneteenth" was "insensitive." Re scheduling for the next day is "grandstanding,"

7 Yes, a good call. I'm sure Trump's people didn't know about "Juneteenth." Nor should they. I mean, a holiday about an executive order from a Republican President? How offensive.

8 Bumping a rally to a Saturnday is better, especially when it gets it off the same day as big crowds that might otherwise create headlines if things got hostile - and you can bet your ass BLM would make sure thing did get hostile.

Mucus, you're an asshole and all you do is shitpost. Likely the staffer didn't know. Juneteenth used to be only a Texas thing

10 What? Juneteenth would never had happen if it wasn't for Republicans. You should celebrate it as a manifestation of the original Black Lives Matter movement. Own it! Take it from the Donks.

11 Emancipation Proclamation was signed January 1, 1863. It was on June 19th, 1865 that Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the slaves there were now free.

"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer."

Apparently it took 2-1/2 years before the news was first given to the former slaves that they were actually now free.

33 Frank ~ Perhaps we could go in together on a package F-150 purchase. At 137,000 nearly trouble free miles, I am in need as well. I owe it to myself, and Ford Motor Co.

38 Thank you for translating, Frank G.

Juneteenth has been a big festival in Cincinnati for over thirty years, though this year they are celebrating virtually in view of coronavirus concerns — all the June and July festivals were cancelled a month or so ago, just in case.
