I agree with this, BLM currently is a group of extremists but not terrorists. Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the end of Slavery. And Kwanzaa regardless of its origin is an innocuous holiday pushing decent values. The rhetoric regarding these is counterproductive.

Y'all really got to stop demonizing things strictly associated with Black culture. Juneteenth is not replacing the 4th of July. Kwanzaa is not replacing Christmas. BLM isn't a terrorist org. Lack of understanding doesn't equate to being evil or Anti-American.

FYI I have celebrated Kwanzaa before many times when I was younger. I do celebrate Juneteenth as was a major step forward for our country and a great accomplishment by the first republican president.

My mom celebrated it, so I did. The principles in it aren't bad by any means regardless of the horrible person that created it.

It was tradition and has become cultural.
