Democrats Irate Over Trump Rally On Juneteenth!

6/11/2020

But August 11th Is Cherokee & Creek Slave Emancipation Day

Many in Tulsa are planning to celebrate Juneteenth for the first time, next week, although their official events were all cancelled weeks ago. But they don't want President Trump to mark the day of emancipation of slaves in Texas; while he's in Tulsa. Keep a couple things in mind.

Slavery continued long after that day of Texas liberty. In Oklahoma, it took over a year longer for the US President to negotiate an end to Indian tribal slavery of Africans. July 10th of 1866 is the actual first date of Oklahoma's end to African slavery by the territory's only legal residents, Indian Tribes.
The Choctaw Nation's principal Chief, Greenwood LeFlore (of whom Greenwood Avenue & 'Black Wall street' is named), owned & exploited several scores of Africans. Yet the descendants of those African slaves now love to identify with the street name of 'Greenwood'.
The official Tulsa Juneteenth organization cancelled this year's commemoration & events, due to pandemic concerns. They are not expected to organize any events until June of 2021. Perhaps its fitting that President Trump's event would include this commemoration, in his visit.
There are separate dates of emancipation for the freed African slaves, according to when the tribes signed federal treaties: But no Oklahoma slave was ever emancipated on June 19th 1865, nor during the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln.

The Trump Campaign has set up a reservation website to get tickets to the rally. It's designed to work best if you have a mobile phone that the campaign can send the verification code to. Here's the link:

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
