Pick your grift... which of these holidays is the most wholly fabricated (hurry and vote before George Floyd's birthday is added to the ballot)?
You’re not independent if some government grants you emancipation. You’re just dependent on another government granting you liberties and rights. That’s why Deep State wants celebration of Juneteenth. It declares a peoples’ dependence to a government for freedom.
July 4th is still The Independence day. The American People declared our independence from the King of England then went to war for seven years to secure it. We declared, we fought, we won, he left our lands.
>> I think freeing the slaves was one of the five most important events in US history — I’m very comfortable celebrating that.
Same here. If Juneteenth ever morphs into a belligerent demand for reparations, though, I’ll have a problem with it.
Most holidays were made up, and are useless. I think the Hallmark Company invented the majority of them for obvious reasons.
Kwanza is an American Black racist counter to the Too White Christmas and the Too White Jesus. Totally fake but promoted to help Democrat liberal agenda. It will not last.
Trump claims he deserves credit for Juneteenth
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/politics/donald-trump-juneteenth-credit/index.html
President Donald Trump is seeking to take credit for making Juneteenth – a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States – “very famous,” after rescheduling his first rally since the start of the pandemic to avoid further criticism for seeming to co-opt it.
Trump told The Wall Street Journal that “nobody had ever heard of” the holiday before he brought it up.
“I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” Trump said in reference to the rally date in an interview published Thursday. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”
My impression is that white liberals who want IMNOTARACIST cred spend a lot more time and effort on Kwanzaa than practically any Blacks.
Juneteenth is a real legitimate holiday.
Juneteenth is real but not deserving of a holiday.
Hallmark Cards is the perpetrator.
That would be July 4th, wouldn’t it?
Their both Racist !
Let someone suggest a proud to be white day and see what happens.
Obviously Kwanzaa is real and genuine. Kamala Harris said so and has fond memories of hanging around the Kwanzaa idols with her Tamil Hindu family because it is so important to the Hindu faith. FWEEDOM
the first among many, absolutely. Also Texas independence day. Also Juneteenth.
In a day when freedom is dwindling everywhere, we should be celebrating it and explaining it and propping it up anytime we can

I love these comments. JUNETEENTH IS REAL! They couldn’t even come up with a real date; they had to make up a freakin word. For crying out loud people are so brainwashed in virtue signaling they don’t even recognize when they’re doing it. They took some BS supposedly local celebration, named it in Ebonics, and turned it into a national holiday. My. God. Next thing you know FReepers will be defending making criminals national icons. Oh wait...
Both
I thought Cinco de Mayo was all about submerging jars of mayonnaise. I’ve been doing it wrong.
Juneteenth, it is a joke. So people somewhere didn’t get the news until later that they were freed. The people today know the truth now. Just a waste of ink to write about it, and breath to talk about it.
In Texas.
“Juneteenth is a real legitimate holiday.
In Texas.”
I don’t really oppose it as a national holiday, but find it a bit odd that what was a mostly East Texas celebration is now national. It was celebrated pretty much on a line East of DFW, Austin and Corpus Christi, cotton growing country. Was a big deal in places like Bastrop, Temple, Tyler and other cities with a large African American population.
