AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — #Juneteenth celebrations have been scaled back this year due to funding shortfalls as companies and municipalities across the country reconsider their support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of parades and other events heading into Thursday’s federal holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. The shrinking financial support coincides with many companies severing ties with #LGBTQ celebrations for Pride this year and President Donald Trump’s efforts to squash #DEI programs throughout the federal government. #BlackMastodon #BLM #RepublicansDidThis

Then one of them later apologized to me for bringing up my upsetting family. My family is whatever. The racism is fucking ugly and scary and seeing it normalized in this way disturbs me. It's not that my family sucks. They do, but that's not it. It's the fucking racism. Racism has consequences. The violence done to black folks in my community, in my country, it's not OK. Black Lives Matter. #BLM #FreeTimYoung

Conservatives suck at memes

A quote from Thomas Sowell, "Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination"

Followed by a comment "Exactly, this is why mediocre white conservatives are so afraid of real equality. The entire culture is tilted towards their goals, yet most still underperform"
