Should this be made a national holiday?

I say we replace the gay month with a second black history month. LGbTBBQWWWODGSDG don't deserve a month.

My hope is that 1 day this will become a national holiday in my lifetime.

well...considering the Emancipation Proclamation didn't actually free a single slave
And since slavery was still legal in the USA until the ratification the 13th Amendment in December 1865
It would make sense that like Kwanzaa, another made up and historically inaccurate event should be commemorated.

Sweet. Focus on the Republican that ended slavery and the Democrats that fought against it.

Good point. It is very unlikely Jesus was born on December 25th. The Christian community believes it to be around the end of September.

Haha what a slap in the face to black peoples. I can see a bunch of old honkies sitting around a conference table... this will get them off our back. A holiday nobody has ever heard of. Lmao

Actually it's going to be on the 20th but don't let the truth get in the way of a good melt.

It was originally scheduled for the 19th and then they moved it yesterday.
It really was a tone deaf decision to originally schedule it then.

So, how many blacks were in Texas that day? That many citizens (got to have diversity) get to take the day off, not in Texas, but anywhere in the 50 states. Call it a National Juneteenth Lottery.

Yes
But that’s because international markets aren’t closed
It’s a half day though

I was at an event where someone read the Emancipation Proclamation, until then I had no clue the New Orleans was exempt from the Proclamation and could keep their slaves.

Wow you’re a dumbass trying to act smart. Juneteenth celebrates the reading in Texas of the federal order freeing slaves in rebelling states once those states surrendered. The reading was in in June 1865, you know, AFTER the confederacy surrendered, therefore the slaves hearing it were free...

Emancipation Park in Third Ward, TX is the spot!

I have no problem with this.
Laying by the pool drinking and barbecuing or go to work?
Not a hard decision for me.
