Is this something else that's made up like Kwanza?

I've never heard of this BS.

At the very least, it's rather goofy to see a sort of local/regional novelty date of celebration (that's been so, and really nothing more, for over 100 years), in the seeming blink of an eye, become a major national holiday

With the idea that we are all supposed to see that as the most normal thing in the world.

Even if you think it's a bit goofy what's the point in all of these pussies acting like it's going to ruin their already worthless life?

biden giving more of our Federal tax dollars away.Again, aimed to appease one segment of our society. May 5th for Hispanics will be the next new Federal Holiday. The Dems need all those replacement voters they can get.

It’s all done in the name of pandering to a certain bloc of the Dim voting base because they eat that shite up, but can’t point to anything substantive proposed by democrats that has helped lift them up.

Got to keep them on the vote farm.

Democrats disgust me.

If you had put a gun to Joe Biden's head 5-6 years ago (or, hell, any other random East Coast Democrat) and said "tell me what Juneteenth is," there's no chance he or 90% of them could provide any clue.

While I agree that naming this a national holiday shouldn't bother anyone... can you talk like a fricking grown man?

If you lived around Little Rock at all during the 2000s, I'm not sure how you could possibly be ignorant to Juneteenth.

When will George Floyd get his own holiday named after him?

Slavery still exists in America. The Democrats still have modern day plantations.

Aimed at appeasing a segment of the population? It's already a state holiday in 43 states. It's really not that big a deal. What's wrong with celebrating a date that marks the official end of slavery and giving All Americans their freedom? You guys are a bunch of pussies.

Until about 3 years ago I would wager that less than 1% of the population (outside of maybe Texas) could even have told you what the hell Juneteenth is.


That's a weird way to say that you don't personally know any black people.

Your histrionics aside, no one is triggered by it.

If black people want to be constantly reminded by their Democratic overlords of the atrocities of slavery, it doesn’t affect me in any way.

The especially sad part is that this does nothing to improve black lives in this country, but it does keep them voting Democrat which empowers Democrats and decimates blacks… all in all, this isn’t a new strategy for Democrats, they’ve just modernized their tactics.

I don’t care about the holiday itself beyond the stupid slang name, but it unequivocally does not mark the end of slavery.

That would be ratification of the 13th amendment, which happened in January.

It just goes with the one in February.

Look for a cancelation incoming of vets day, Columbus day, memorial day, or who knows...July 4.

I work at a VA Hospital and we haven't heard anything about this. I'm scheduled to see patients tomorrow.
