Some facts about slavery that go against the wokeass narrative.

If you’re not black you’re not supposed to celebrate joonteenth. But the company I work for gave us the day off so I stayed home.

Gordon Granger Day is properly celebrated on September 20. Moving it to June diminishes it, but I suppose it makes it a twofer, so there’s that.

As one FR poster rebranded it: It’s “Saint George of Fentanyl” day...LOL. Well, he was buried in a golden casket fit for a king...so they say.

“Juneteenth” is overtly racist.

Only the twilight zone of Biden’s “America” would such a thing be established.

I’m more into Arbor Day which doesn’t get enough coverage.

[rdl6989]

I don’t celebrate fake holidays.

[Chode]

and it’s not the Emancipation Proclamation date of January 1, 1863, because???

[Drew68]

On Juneteenth, I celebrated Father’s Day.

[jospehm20]

I celebrate the June 19th anniversary of the Rosenberg executions.

This is a divisive holiday. It doesn’t unify Americans, it does nothing but stir racial hatred.

And that is the ONLY REASON that Biden signed the EO, to create turmoil.

In 2021, Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was adopted in 1983

What's next? Travon Martin Day…or George Floyd Day?

[immadashell]

How about Kwanzaa?

I celebrate Juneteenth daily.
The day that republicans freed slaves from their Dem owners.

I like to remind liberals how and why Juneteenth went from a obscure forgotten Texas anniversary date to an instant national holiday.

Donald Trump was set to hold a campaign rally in Oklahoma on June 19th, 2020. The left needed an angle to complain about this, so they elevated the previously obscure date that almost nobody on earth had ever heard of to "Christmas Day" status amongst black people and all, overnight, decided that they suddenly also celebrated this weird holiday.

I call it "Donald Trump's Juneteenth" for fun. And I enjoy my day off.

Juneteenth is when the Republicans freed the slaves from their slave owner Democrats!

Save the rage for when they come after Columbus Day and Thanksgiving.

[exnavy]

Junebugteenth, not a thing.

[FreedomPoster]

I do! I had a nice Juneteenth celebration:

I had a nice watermelon salad as part of my celebration . . .

[TonyM]

The fact that its a ridiculously made up holiday is enough for me to ignore it.

[ChronicMA]

it is not the Emancipation Proclamation that should be celebrated instead of Juneteenth. Both were incomplete, only applying in limited geographical areas.

it is rather the date the 13th amendment was ratified, which occurred in December 1865, which applied emancipation to 100% of the USA and ended all state-supported slavery in the USA forever.
