Maybe if people were educated on the fact that this was the doing of the founder, Richard Robert Wright, then they’d stop sounding ignorant. It was created to honor Lincoln’s signing. Blame the creator, research before reaction

It’s quite obvious people don’t know that the actual founder of the “day”, who was a former slave, created it as a commeration to Lincoln’s signing the amendment on Feb. 1st. I’ve concluded folks just want to be angry all their life and nitpick before researching. I digress.
