      This image could totally have some kind of ethereal Jesus-like figure floating above them with its arms out ready to embrace them, with a big BLM pasted on its forehead.

        I’m gonna be real with you, chief, I HATED Admiral Cain.

        As far as I’m concerned, the only good thing she did was deliver a spare Battlestar to Adama.

          You were supposed to hate Admiral Cain. She was a military dictator and, more important, a mirror to the path Adama considered in the mini-series.

          The Pegasus arc was so fucking good.

      Slavery didn’t really end until 1963 – or hasn’t even ended yet, if you count prison slavery.

      So what’s your point?

      You’re the first person I’ve heard claim there were no more slaves after Juneteenth.

      The power of Juneteenth is that it’s a grassroots celebration by former slaves started the year after they were freed.
