So now we have TWO minority holidays honoring so-so people and events and only ONE honoring our great forefathers.

Thanksgiving and the 4th of July don't honor our forefathers?

Get rid of BOTH MLK and this idiotic pandering “Juneteenth.” It’s just another lame excuse for more shoot-em-ups.

I haven't seen any evidence that violent crime spikes on either holiday, but if you don't want to celebrate it you're free to treat as just an ordinary day. Personally I'm not complaining about a day off.

“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.

I don’t know if the links below provides evidence but community leaders are very concerned about this very issue.

This so called holiday is pandering to a minority and furthers the divisions within this country. I do not celebrate MLK, June 19th or Kwanzaa, nor Cinco de Mayo. I believe as a nation, Memorial Day, July 4th, Veterans Day should be the only mandatory Federal holidays, My daughter was offered today off but comes out of her PTO. I suggest nationally people should get the 3 national holidays off and after that people get to choose from a plethora of religious, secular or historically holidays. The additional days are factored into PTO. Especially f’ing Fed employees, I was one and I had more paid holidays than my wife. Those are taxes dollars wasted as we approach $50 trillion in debt.
