It’s being thrust on the national stage by the Marxists as part of their never ending effort to divide and undermine the United States of America. Stay away from it.
Yep. It was a small, local thing before a few weeks ago and it should remain that way.
It’s been a Texas thing for a while as I understand, as the date commemorates when slaves in Galveston found out they were emancipated (June 19, 1865). But it’s only in the past 10 years or less and ESPECIALLY this year that it’s become a thing. Hell, my company basically told people that they needed to take off early on Friday and “take time to reflect.” I bailed early and reflected on the inside of my eyelids. It was a good nap untroubled by thoughts of Juneteenth.

Never heard of it until a few weeks ago.
BTW - I share the same Birthday with Mick Jagger, July 26th and our Wedding Anniversary is on July 9th, OJ Simpson’s Birthday. Do I get a Cookie?
The sudden fuss over Juneteenth is just another virtue signal that white p***ys use to appease the black mob.
Growing up as a white kid in a predominantly black run city in the 1960’s I never heard of Juneteenth and neither did the blacks in the schools I got my “Education”in.
The Proclamation of Emancipation did not free all the slaves. The slaves in the Union States were not freed until the 13th Amendment was ratified.
I went to an integrated high school at a time when this country was being torn apart.
We were taught about Juneteenth and it’s importance. We celebrated together. We raised every voice and cheered OUR NATIVE land
Texas has had it as a state holiday for a long time
I was aware that Texas was the last of the rebellion states to free the slaves. I did not not know that it occurred on June 19th, and I never heard of Juneteeth until last week.
Until then, it's only July Fourth that I will recognize as the Freedom From Privileged White Aristocracy Day.
It celebrates the victory of the GOP over the slave-owning Dimocrats!
It is up to patriots to not allow this happy celebration to be tainted by revisionism and hate.
I don’t give a rat’s ass one way or the other.
“Consider how suddenly it’s been foisted upon us.”
Yes, I just heard about Juneteenth 50 years ago.
Yes, I just heard about Juneteenth 50 years ago.......I flat out call you a liar.
I am the eldest of six, so I DO understand.
Texas was the last of the rebellion states.....Texas was independant territory at the time.
“Cinco de Mayo, on the other hand, has no American roots, and is nothing more than a marketing scheme for selling alcohol”
It’s not that innocent.
Why is it that all this “celebration” of May 5 started only within the last decade?
Illegals.
Goodie for you.
Point is, I’ll bet outside TX, 95% of ANY Americans never heard of it until the last few years.
Beer Companies.
“Yes, I just heard about Juneteenth 50 years ago.......I flat out call you a liar.”
Have you ever been to Texas?
Juneteenth is nothing new in the Lone Star State.
