Joe Biden has fallen under scrutiny for not creating a policy that will benefit black Americans, while the mainstream media was quick to forget President Trump’s proposals. As Joe Biden took credit for making Juneteenth a federal holiday, the mainstream media forgot Trump’s proposal less than a year ago as part of his Platinum Plan.
“By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day and learn from our history,” Biden expressed. “Celebrate progress and grapple with the distance we’ve come, but the distance we have to travel.”
President Trump supported making Juneteenth a holiday.
This is just another idea Joe Biden stole from President Trump.

Contrary to the Biden administration, who claimed America requires state intervention to fix systemic racism in order to achieve equality, President Trump aimed to empower Black Americans by creating opportunities in their communities.
“We will create 3 million new jobs for the black community, open 500,000 new black owned businesses, increase access to capitol in black communities by 500 billion dollars,” he announced. “This includes investing in community development and financial institutions and minority depository institutions.”
While in office, President Trump sought to understand the needs of the black community by directly soliciting leaders’ advice and feedback. This advice ultimately guided the 45th president to create his comprehensive plan, which focused on four main pillars: opportunity, security, prosperity and fairness for African Americans.

Several black American’s commended Trump’s Platinum Plan by noting it would have led to more education opportunities, economic empowerment, better and cheaper healthcare, and justice. Biden on the other hand has been criticized by both parties for using Juneteenth as a symbolic victory instead of proposing policies to enact material change.
I wonder why every time the idiot Biden does something positive it turns out is was a Trump idea first? Of course, Trump was also promoting economic initiatives for blacks, something idiot Biden and Democrats totally ignore.
A year ago, idiot Biden didn’t even know what Juneteenth was. Next week he won’t know what it was again.
Blacks don’t want others to celebrate Juneteenth, so what to do?
I know just have bbq ribs, bbq beans, slaw, and watermelon in private.
It’s just the black version of Cinco de Mayo where others have taco salads, tamales, refried beans and rice, again, in private.
And, if you’re a federal employee, you get paid.
Juneteenth is an exclusively Texas holiday. It’s the date the former slaves in Texas learned of the 13th Amendment and their freedom; it would seem January 31 would be a more appropriate date for the holiday. However, the real emancipation came when Democrats were voted out of power in the south and their Jim Crow laws began being reversed.
Juneteenth- celebrating when the Republicans freed the slaves from the Democrats. And now the demokrats want to make people slaves again.
