but I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a con to do away with the 4th of July as a federal holiday.

Do you ever pause and think about what you're saying and realize that you might be fricking crazy?

The Senate passed the bill under a unanimous consent


Good thing this wasn't 40 years ago.

Senator Biden and his posse wouldn't have made it unanimous

So long Good Friday. Sorry Jesus but your sacrifice simply doesn’t rate compared to oppression of the modern day black man in America.

It’s more worthy of a holiday than Columbus and President’s Day. I’d remove those two and replace them with Juneteenth and Election Day.

Why do you assume that one holiday has to be cancelled?

I’m for it. Just another holiday. And you can celebrate the great things all black people have done for American culture instead of just remember MLK. And in true American fashion, let’s just turn it in to a drinking holiday. Hennessy ain’t my drink, but when in Rome.

These are crazy times. I have no doubt though it’s in the Woke Agenda to remove this holiday. 10% chance it happens in the next 4 years. Not likely, but possible.

Businesses will only observe so many paid holidays in a year. With the current climate, they of course will observe this one so as not to be racist. That means a current holiday will need to be scrapped.

The end of slavery was when the 13th Amendment was ratified in December 1865.

Trump himself recognized Juneteenth in 2019.

FFS

Doesn’t the black community have enough already?

NAACP
United Negro College Fund
Congressional Black Caucus
Affirmative action hiring
Easier college admissions
BET

And on and on

It will never be enough

Have you been paying attention? We’re well beyond my worst case scenario less than 6 months into Biden’s administration. Why shouldn’t I prepare for the worst?

I'm game. Absolutely crazy that election day isn't a holiday. Our democracy should be celebrated and participation should be encouraged.
