I would bet the mortgage Goodell never heard of Juneteenth until today.
But, the ‘Rats were against Juneteenth back in the day.
And Jubilee!
That’s on the calendar of my phone but I never knew what it was (and I can’t delete it). There’s a few others like that, but Washington’s birthday and Lincoln’s birthday don’t make the cut.
Most blacks don’t observe or even know about Juneteenth.
I never heard of it back east. I saw a few music festivals with Juneteenth in the title when I lived in Oakland, Ca.
lots of kiosks, jewerly, and art for sale.
This was at Lake Merritt, about one mile from the Jack London area downtown.
If I stopped by, I was always careful to be gone long before sundown. By that time, you find a lot of people walking around wanting to sell drugs, or so I used to hear.
I celebrate it every year.
It’s my daughter’s birthday.
I noticed that Google did not recognize D-Day.
I think the President should use the occasion to remind the yutz of today how slavery came to an end. Watch their heads explode.
Beginning in the early 1900’s classroom and textbook education instead of traditional home and family-taught practices stifled the interest of the youth due to less emphasis and detail on the activities of former slaves.
The progressives were re-writing the history of slavery.
How many black people had even heard of Juneteenth before this?
This sudden push only started because the Trump rally is to this day. So MSM is pushing the “see how that Trump does not care about black because he scheduled it on that day” narrative. Someone screwed up or sabotaged it because Trump didn’t know. He’s doing his best to get ahead of it but they should not have picked that day. It is an unnecessary distraction.
The day REPUBLICANS FREED THE SLAVES!! No help from democrats. But rpeublicans never were forgiven for it. Lots of young white men died, wasted their lives for this thankless ungrateful bunch of ingrates.
Obama had eight years to make it a holiday, and he didn’t. He probably had never heard of it, neither.
Trump speech triggers this. He will be accused as a racist when he speaks in Tulsa.
[Here we go....If the Democrats sweep into power in November I’d imagine legislation to eliminate Columbus Day as a Federal holiday and replace with Juneteenth.]
Never heard of Juneteenth until this morning.
Can’t have a Juneteenth sale, all the looted stores won’t be op[en or restocked.
I want the NFL to celebrate Tadeusz Kosciuszko day. Kneel on the 50 yard line during halftime and scream: THANK YOU TAD FOR MY FREEDOM!!!!
If you refuse, you’re all racists.
They ain't but twenny daze a month anyhoo if you take off weekends and Frideys n Mundies yo!
No, Columbus day is in October, too far from June. They would want to replace Independence Day. Actually, Juneteenth is a significant event worthy of celebration. Make it a holiday. Hell, make it a federal holiday. Americans work far more than most 1st world countries already. Another holiday during the beautiful June weather would be great.
Whatever. The American people are so over it. We were collectively sorry George Floyd was killed by a bad cop but this is so out of control and over the top. We are sick of BLM and COVID. We would do best to carry on with our lives and let their radical ideology and behavior speak for itself.
