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.
You could ask Biden today and he wouldn't know if he didn't have his earpiece in.

Not surprising if someone doesn’t, they are a very small percentage of the population.

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.
Slavery still exists, not all Americans are free..

Oh Columbus Day is gone sooner rather than later, can’t let Italians have a celebration..it’s perfectly ok to shite on them and the Irish, in fact it’s a Democrat tradition.

This is such a Clown Show administration. Shorts are actually using this 11th hour decision of a Federal holiday to show the markets have been interrupted because the exchanges don't know if they're going to be open tomorrow or not. The incompetency is strong with this senile nitwit and his band of useful jesters.

It's going to be Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of Columbus day.

Dems why so you steal?
Dems why do you lie and cheat?
Why must you blame others for problems that you create?
Stop and think it over, put yourself in a dems situation.
We fake news all night long cause it is a Democrat tradition!!!!

Having Juneteenth as a national holiday offers a generational opportunity for Americans to discuss reparations for racial slavery, Jim Crow segregation and the inequities of poverty, health care disparities and violence that are their legacy. But one year after transformative protests and a widespread corporate embrace of Juneteenth, much of this country is showing itself to be unready or unwilling to have those conversations.

It also gives residents of urban centers an increased opportunity to shoot each other indiscriminately in celebration.

What if my “legacy” or that of my family isn’t any of that? After all hundreds of thousands of white americans died to free slaves...now they want to take money from the ancestors of people who died securing their freedom. Ungrateful frickheads

The irony of course is it continues to be the authoritarian Left that objects to having an opportunity to discuss the actual legacies of slavery and other related factors.

Even worse, they want to take money from people whose ancestors had zero to do with it.

quote:I don't get why people keep saying this. Before last year it was a Texas celebration. The only place I'd ever heard it mentioned before last year was in old Swisha House songs. Slaves were still held for months yet until the ratification of the 13th. And even still longer by native tribes I believe. But I guess that's none of my business.
which marks the end of slavery in America, a federal holiday.
