We have holidays that commemorate the birth and death of mythical gods. This holiday has merit. Try to remember the fact that we don’t have slavery anymore, and it’s a human right to NOT be one. It could’ve been you next.

As I posted here, take a peek at their past comments, they’re an outright neo-nazi Holocaust denier, and they seem to see Hitler as a hero: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31791070

Not surprising a racist disagrees with celebrating the emancipation of African American slaves.

And? Myths are what shape culture and thinking of people. They are important.

The fact that people who happened to have a certain color of skin did something to people of a certain color has no meaning to people of a completely different time when those things are not even remotely relevant.

The only reason I can think why this exists is because someone decided to exploit people of today based on skin color.

That they aren't held in slavery anymore -- similar to Passover.

Your comment seems to carry a tone of dismissal, may I ask why?

Clicked their previous comments - they’re a neo-nazi Holocaust denier. For example, they posted this 5 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31722179

> Hitler is recognized and admired by many. If the change in world order happens when his significance is still fresh, he will surface back as a universally admired figure because it is not very difficult to piece together what the Nazi regime actually did vs what the Soviet occupiers accused them of (and what the US went along with).

And then they continue with pure insane Holocaust denial: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31728678

> The second world war was a biological war with typhus as the primary weapon. All of "holocaust" was Germany trying to quarantine and treat the infection... which is why SS doctors were at the frontline of it all. They still lost millions of people. The most affected were low hyegine communities who did not listen to government recommendations... but the 6 million number is downright retarded if you look at the population records.

Why do neo-nazis exist? I don’t know, but this person clearly is one. Obviously racists are not going to agree with Juneteenth.
