I highly doubt that freshman Wisconsin congressman Tom Tiffany has a clue about Black Americans and their history with American independence.

If he did, he wouldn't make ignorant statements like he did last week in explaining why he was the only Wisconsin member of Congress to vote against making Juneteenth a federal holiday.

"Once again, House Democrats have used their majority to balkanize our country and fuel separatism by creating a race-based 'Independence Day,'" Tiffany, of Minocqua, proclaimed. "There is only one Independence Day in America, just as there is only one National Anthem, one American flag and one America — under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

That led columnist Reggie Jackson of the Milwaukee Independent to suggest that perhaps Tiffany could spend some time reading American history.
