come the frick on. nothing wrong with Junteenth
it is cultural appropriation for those from the non-gulf south, but that's oft-ignored if a marginalized group steals another's culture

You mean just the African Americans in the south? Since the Imancipation proclamation didn't free the north slaves. And what about the already free African Americans some of whom even owned their own slaves? When/what do they celebrate?

Junteenth is a legitimate 3rd Coast celebration

That's a faulty generalization.
As in "me" people?
What people specifically?

And everyone takes off work? So what's different from every other day? Somebody should go start their own country. Back in the homeland. It can be Juneteenth EVERYDAY!!!!
