Juneteenth Won't Be an Important Holiday

Here in Ft. Worth, the historically black Lake Como neighborhood is famous for a planned RIOT on this holiday or the adjacent weekend. It can get violent, with people getting shot and stabbed.

[fwdude]

Yeah, and traffic was a little lighter today than usual.

Monitor the news tomorrow....chances are there will be multiple shootings tonight related to this so called holiday......more than likely all occurring in blue cities of course.

Keep Juneteenth and get rid of martin luther false prophet day.

I disengage when fake composite words that can’t be decomposed into any logical meaning are used.

[cowboyusa]

The White Union men should be honored.

No better way to promote unity than to jam holidays that are exclusive for the 13%of the population that is responsible for the majority of violent crime and other societal problems down the throats of the other 87% of citizens .

From the article...LOLOL...Saturday Night Live. Be sure to watch to the end. It's hilarious.

Martin Luther King Day: White Co-Workers

Yes, unfortunately.

[No name given]

I agree.

I'm not quite sure I'd be able to tell the difference from normal.

“I haven’t seen any evidence that violent crime spikes on either holiday”

That’s true, now that every Friday and Saturday Night are the big shoot-em-up days.

Very good historical recall.

[NWFree]

It’s a complete waste of productivity just like the lazy slobs it was invented for

[River Hawk]

YEah, it’s funny.

I called my insurance company today, spent 3 minutes getting past the AI stupidity to talk to a human, finally was put through. “Our offices are closed for the holiday” it said, “please call back during normal business hours”.

I had no idea.

Given these:

Black History Month (Feb)
Women’s History Month (March)
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (May)
Pride Month (June)
Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept)
LGBT History Month (Oct)
Native American Heritage Month (Nov)

Why isn’t there a White History Month or a Men’s History Month? Surely whites and men have contributed to this country’s development as much, or more, than some of the groups above.

Happy birthday. Screw the other one.

[pfflier]

It is neither “important” nor a “holiday”.
