Surprised Biden hasn't declared it a federal holiday. I'm sure he will speak about this on that day, but forgot to mention our veterans who died on Memorial Day..

For Heels up.. it was a long weekend..

So it's the day black people sit around thinking about all the white people who fought and died for their freedom?

I spoke to someone who works at UNO. They are giving them a holiday.

Not sure but Capital One will be closing. I guess their racist commercial star Samuel L Jackson forced them to the knee.

I'd never heard of Juneteenth until last year here on TD.

Still not real sure just wtf it is supposed to be.

It’s Kwanzaa in June. Similar to Christmas in July for white people.

It’s a Texas thing. Which is sort of ironic to me.

No. The media basically repeated what the Governor's office sent them and they didn't even question it.

Juneteenth is June 19th. What the actual law did was declare the 3rd Saturday of June a state holiday so the only offices that will close are offices that are normally open on Saturday.

Local governments can close if they want.

It's the day that slaves in Texas received the news that they continued to be slaves for two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln had freed all the slaves.

How racist does someone have to be to oppose an extra day off?

I would dang sure love for that to turn into a national holiday.

Any extra holidays are greatly appreciated because that’s extra overtime

Juneteenth is officially a thing. I had all kinds of pride and racial sensitivity training zoom invites pop up on my calendar for work on the 19th. I deleted all the shite.

Another example of how Democrats fail to understand what racism actually means.
