I just received an e-mail from the CEO saying the offices will close at 2 pm on Friday to observe Juneteenth. Why only a half a day off??? Damn racist of him.

My boss is making the whites and Latinos work, but he is paying their wages to the black employees.

The Metropolitan Opera streams a different opera every day. The opera for each day is announced weeks in advance. So the June 18th opera was already scheduled to be one in which Leontyne Price stars. (LP is black.)
Apparently someone in the Met front office just got the memo about Juneteenth and couldn't wait to genuflect. The LP opera will now run through June 19th.

I agree it ought to be celebrated, along with well-publicized reminders of which party ended slavery, and which one propagated it, and started a Civil War to maintain it, and resisted its abolition after that war, lynching blacks along with white Republicans during reconstruction.

Fortunately I just swallowed my coffee before reading it.
Best way to start your morning off, with FReeper humor. Now I’m trying to decide who to share it with.

It’s so you can get home before the rioting begins.

Since 1865, in Galveston Texas. That is when and where the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Texas.

I am truly clueless - what is Juneteenth?
To: C19fan
If,by chance,you’re white it’s because you’re only a half a person...just as blacks were classified as “three fifths of a person” about 150 years ago.

Galveston has a long and interesting history.
At one time, it was a base of operations for the pirate, Jean Lafitte.
