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 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31791070 Not surprising a racist disagrees with celebrating the emancipation of African American slaves.

> mythical gods 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.
