Jason Whitlock caters to a certain group of people for clicks.
I listened from the 11:00 mark and what he is saying is absolute BS. Juneteenth was celebrated when I was a little kid and I'm 49 years old now (plus I grew up in Louisiana). Trust me.. if you grew up in the black church you recognized and celebrated Juneteenth. No there weren't big parades everywhere etc but it wasn't something that was taught and acknowledged.
I saw the comments Candace Owens made about Juneteenth. She's a really sad individual. But I'm not mad at her. As long as people like her, Jason Whitlock and Rachel Dolezal (or any other apologist on both sides of the coin) can say odd ball comments, get some attention and make a few dollars off of it they will continue to exist.

Must be a TX/LA/AR thing, never heard of in MO. Jason said he never heard of anyone celebrating Juneteenth outside of TX until George Floyd was killed.....sounds about right. Something I didn't know until recently was Memorial Day was the original celebration for the end of the Civil War and the end of slavery so I'm not sure why Memorial Day isn't part of the celebration for the end of slavery? That would make sense to me.

You should be wiser
And I grew up in a 50/50 community. Never heard or seen it celebrated. My friends celebrated the 4th with me like normal Americans.
Another DIVISIVE tactic from the progressive loonies.

Hyperbole much?
Sounds like you're throwing rocks from your side of the fence because their "blackness" doesn't mirror yours.

She's a really sad individual
White President made it a Federal Holiday in the midst of all the pandering done since big ears was in office.
In the end, it's a day with a catchy name. No fricks given.

Lived in TN, MS and AL and never heard of it. Doesn’t mean it didn’t exist but suggests that 1% of the population had any interest in it.

Strange you didn’t mention Al sharpton and the numerous black con men from the left.

That’s our whole society. It’s not specific to right or left leaning. There’s 20X the number of black clickbait artists on the left. But that’s a function of overall political demographics.

I'm older than you and only started hearing about Juneteenth in the last 3-4 years.

Interesting.
I grew up in Charleston, SC. I’m 62, have had many life long black friends.
When the whole Juneteenth deal kicked up a few years ago they were just as clueless about it as everyone else.
