Selling Beer and Making Whoopee: A Note on Juneteenth

The Orthosphere ^ | June18, 2021 | JM Smith

[Noumenon]

I came for the oogly-boogly, stayed for the brutal Occam's Razor sharp analysis.

[napscoordinator]

Now we need a holiday in March, April, and august. I always thought one a month would be fair.

[dfwgator]

“The colored race is far from free of ‘grafters.’ There have always been among the negroes some individuals who may be called ‘professional negroes,’ who get their living by their influence with their kind, because of their smooth tongues and by questionable methods.”

Pretty much what Booker T. Washington said.

[rktman]

Making Whoopee? Two words that should NOT be used together. Think ‘the view”.

[cgbg]

The good news is that we have a new modern food for a new modern holiday:

My name is Doctor Kumbaya. I have a PHD from Harvard Medical School. I am here to answer your common questions about your Soylent Green.

First of all, it is all natural with no artificial ingredients. It is free range as well, no cages were used. All of the animals were happy and well fed and disease free.

That means a healthy, nutritious meal for you, a critical part of a well balanced diet, one of the five food groups both children and adults need.

Look at the spotless modern factory behind me.

Beautiful. Clean.

The company that manufactures this outstanding product is a proud member of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Chamber of Commerce, and of course highly trained and experienced Food and Drug Administration inspectors routinely visit this plant to assure zero defects in the production process.

So, don't listen to those kooky conspiracy theorists--get Soylent Green in your home today.

Oh, I almost forgot. We have a special offer for our viewers. If you go online to the Soylent Green.gov website and click the "Special Bonus" button we will send you a free recipe book to show you great meals with Soylent Green. That is correct. A free recipe book you can keep on your kitchen table next to your Soylent Green packages.

But--don't delay. This is a limited time offer you won't want to miss.

[Noumenon]

Now look what you’ve done. Gonna take a wire brush and a whole bar of Lava soap to get that one out of my mind.

[lee martell]

We have more than enough race based holidays as is.
This is not needed, and appears to be pandering to one minority at expense of all others.
Everyone has a History to contemplate.

Far as I can tell, Lithuanians and Estonians are dramatically under-represented in the discussions of fairness!
Correct me if I’m wrong.

[MNDude]

Juneteenth is the day where the grateful descendants of slaves commemorate those who freed them, right?

[rktman]

Sorry. Here. We’ll send you a couple gallons of eye bleach.

[DesertRhino]

Black America disliked Father’s Day and Independence Day. So now we get Father’s Day overshadowed and “Juneteenth Independence Day” two weeks before the real one.
All in the middle of take it up the poop hole pride month.

America, 2021.

[Mr. Mojo]

<< I do not know who has the beer concession for our new Federal Juneteenth holiday >>

I’ll guess Colt 45.

[libstripper]

Superb advertisement for perpetual male celibacy.

[Bloodandgravy]

Some things never change.

[I want the USA back]

Now there’s a reminder in early summer of how evil and racist Whitey is and why he should willingly give up all his money and then lay down and die.

We already had 3. MLK day, black history month, and kwanzaa. There was too long a stretch between them. We might forget to put on our White Guilt face if we weren’t reminded every few months.

The next step will be reparations.

[sauropod]

Bkmk

[glennaro]

Any high-proof brew will do ... but it must come in a "40" (ouncer, that is)

[cowboyusa]

The left twists everything out of shape, they turn a holiday about freedom into advancing Marxism. So evil.

[Ratman0823]

So basically, they are turning “Juneteenth” into another St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo. Nobody seems to recall the reasons behind these “holidays”, except maybe the beer distributors and bars.

[a fool in paradise]

Juneteenth was a picnic day of celebration.

Yet too many Americans treat Memorial Day as a picnic day.

[Reily]

To all
From a food website, in case you were wondering what to eat to celebrate.

What Kind of Food Is Served on Juneteenth?
Today, soul food is associated with comfort food, ...... etc.
The Red Trinity—barbecue, watermelon and red soda—is at the heart of the meal..etc

Soda pop existed in 1865 Confederate Texas ?????????
