For social justice activist Glenn Harris, Donald Trump’s statement on Juneteenth, arguing there are “too many nonworking holidays in America” costing the country “billions of dollars,” was no surprise.

Harris said the comments coming on the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States were consistent with Trump’s most recent policies and practices working against people of color.

“In many ways it’s just a continuation of this administration’s attempt to erase the civil rights, free speech and literally the history of Black and brown people,” said Harris, who is president of Race Forward.

It’s not a coincidence, Trump is and always was a fucking racist.

It was not a coincidence.

Fucking duh.

I’d go a step further and say that this was intended to paint black folks as “nonworking” and lazy. Most likely a dogwhistle cooked up in the diseased brain of Stephen Miller.

Stephen miller probably the laziest person on staff after trump. The deputy chief of staff

Buncha lazy chrizzos sitting around and shutting the markets down for a couple days when we could be trading crypto, I tell ya

No holidays this year, next year a 60 hour work week. The year after that, no weekends.

We have the most heartless system for workers and these scumbags want us to work more days and more hours and only live to make them richer.

[–] AlbinoPython@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Lol, some. The other "political observers" are fucking idiots.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 5 hours ago

Some political observers say it wasn’t a coincidence

“Some”? They’re racists who don’t deserve discretion. Name names.
