It wasn't the holiday until Biden made it one

it was the anniversary of an event in Texas celebrated by Texans without all this insanity

It was awesome! I played 36 holes today. It splits June in half. I fired some Glock rounds in the air this morning. Best fricking holiday ever!

Considering slavery ended in Delaware where the last slaves were freed, after the end of the civil war, makes you wonder what Delaware thinks about Juneteenth.

Yes, as a resident of New Orleans and someone who read the Emancipation Proclamation

If you want to do a holiday for the end of slavery, it should been when the 13th was ratified.


from the Proclamation-
Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans)

Kwanzaa.

At least Juneteenth has a reason. It's dumb, but it isn't completely pulled outta someone's arse.

What makes it really dumb is that it is supposed to be about the end of slavery when in fact it was not. There were still slaves in parts of the CSA that had no union troops and there were still 3 slave states in the Union. The day they should have picked would be Dec 6, the day they ratified the 13th amendment.

The reality is, woke white girls were crying about Juneteenth back in 2018 and after the St. Floyd was killed for, you know, being black (lol), the Biden progs running things needed to emote their guilt by buying into the Juneteenth thing.

We should get rid of most of the holidays we have now.....honestly only government workers and banks get them off. Make it just 4, July 4th, Memorial day and add constitution day, 17 Sep, and thanksgiving.

It really should be a day blacks go out of their way to thank White people for fighting to free them. And anyone that wants anything else, should be called out for a big thank you.
