I would be open to this but as one can tell reading the article there is nothing but hate, and iconoclasm from this author and those like her.

I will be going to Costco to “celebrate” Juneteenth. I have no problem with celebrating this but of course the Leftists pushing this now have ulterior motives.

In most cases, establishing something as a national holiday is the first step in stripping it of all meaning. It becomes just one more day for people to get paid without working, and to go shopping to buy more unnecessary crap at the mall.

do we bring fried chicken and watermelon?

The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Some time ago,when the film Titanic was all that anyone was talking about,I saw a great,GREAT bumper sticker:

IT SANK...GET OVER IT

I'd say the same thing today about slavery/"racism"

IT'S GONE...GET OVER IT

[cranked]

PitnerIdiot, no.

[Uncle Miltie]

Nah. Has already become communism on the hoof.

[chuckee]

Sorry, I’m done celebrating skin color. Let’s find another holiday, perhaps National Aardvark Day.

Typical leftists telling all Americans what they should do.

Something else happened on June 19 some years earlier that had direct bearing on the future ending of slavery.

From wiki

The 1856 Republican National Convention was a presidential nominating convention that met from June 17 to June 19 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the first national convention in the history of the Republican Party, and was held to nominate the party's candidates for president and vice president in the 1856 election. The convention selected former Senator John C. Frémont of California for president and former Senator William L. Dayton of New Jersey for vice president. The convention also appointed the members of the newly-established Republican National Committee.

I thought the rule was that each race gets one holiday. They already have MLK day. If they want Juneteenth, they have to give up MLK Day. That’s the law!

[Old Sarge]

So we should listen to some triple-named bitch who spouts lies in every sentence?

How about NO?

[P.O.E.]

June used to be a beautiful month with graduations, weddings, Father’s Day, etc.

Now it’s all political crap. No fun, just harangues.

[Highest Authority]

Those “colonizers” created this country! If that offends you, GET THE HELL OUT!

It’s Time for All of America To Celebrate Juneteenth

No, it's not.

[Vision]

Or maybe move on with your lives and stop playing the victim(of generations a long time ago).

[ClearCase_guy]

We have exactly one federal holiday which celebrates an individual — Martin Luther King.
We have black History month — which seems to start mid-January and taper off in mid-March.
Now Juneteenth is set to be the most important day of the year.

I’m done with the race extortion. They want to tear down our history? Fine. I’ve forgotten the past. Blacks in America have nothing to complain about and can celebrate the same way everybody else does.

[Pravious]

Now it must turn into a national holiday that all Americans should embrace.

—

Spoken like a true fascist.

You WILL celebrate what we TELL you to celebrate, you worm! Kneel!
Hey! Where’s that guy from Chick-Fil-A with the shoeshine kit?
YOU! OVER THERE! You’re not flying your Juneteenth flag?! It’s re-education camp for you!

Even Fox News is breathlessly promoting this nonsense.

[DeplorablePaul]

A great civil war was fought to preserve the union. Lincoln ended slavery because he needed to give the war a great moral cause to justify the horrendous loss of life casualties to war weary north.

The call to celebrate it now is an attempt to shame innocent people for its historical existence. No credit is given to the 600,000 who died ending it, nor the trillions spent in reparations. It is a psy op.

ps

My daughter’s law firm gave her a half day off to “celebrate”. The message is that this is a day that white people must atone for slavery. We’re going shooting instead.
