Right-wing conservative Chadwick Moore angered Black Twitter when he denounced Juneteenth as a holiday in America.
Moore, who is homosexual, tweeted on June 20, "I'm sorry, blacks, but you already have a month. Juneteenth isn't a thing. Don't colonize our month as well. thanks. Signed, the gays."

Moore managed to trigger Black people, liberals, and even other gays -- all of whom tried to "cancel" him. Unfortunately, their efforts fell flat because Moore himself is in the protected category.
Moore also refused to capitalize the 'B' in reference to Black people, writing: "Firstly, black is not with a capital 'B.' That's a recent, weird leftist media style guide thing."
Firstly, black is not with a capital “B.” That’s a recent, weird leftist media style guide thing. Secondly, Juneteenth completely erases the lives of 200,000 black soldiers (among others) who fought for the Union and instead glorifies one White Union general and the State. https://t.co/bcnLqvyweg

Moore spent the rest of the evening taunting those who tried to cancel him:
"I'm living proof you can beat the mob. I've done it three times now. Why aren't more people like me?"
I’m living proof you can beat the mob. I’ve done it three times now. Why aren’t more people like me? I also did it with zero support from Verified Conservatives but that’s another story.

Moore is a 36-year-old journalist, public speaker, political commentator, and a regular guest on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News. He was a lifelong liberal until he came out as a conservative in 2016.
I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately—like in the past hour—and I’m sorry, but I’d just like to remind everyone that when the mob came for me, again, I won. With zero help from the cucks on the right. It can be done! Never bend a knee, ladies and gentlemen.

Chadwick as you know Juneteenth preceded Pride by about 105 years. Your cuntiness doesn’t work if you’re also being ahistorical.

Actually it only became a holiday in 1980 via a Republican Texas Governor. Today it’s only a holiday in 3 states. June 19, 1865 was almost completely ignored across the south because blacks had already been celebrating for weeks. Thanks, ahistorical.

Sneaky of black people to have history happen 155 years ago during gay pride month.

*me looking at the other gays* do you know him? Did you sign off on this? Why is he so gross? Can we give him to the straights?

Juneteenth does not need white approval for it to count. Black peoples were celebrating Juneteenth long long LONG before 1980.

You’re saying it’s “not a thing” bc the state of TX didn’t recognize it til 1980.
By that measure, Pride is also not a thing. Presidents have acknowledged it, but it’s not a government holiday.
The first Juneteenth celebrations date to 1866. That’s 114 yrs before 1980. pic.twitter.com/N3cFikiNeH
