Juneteenth is real but not deserving of a holiday.
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
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
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.
At least Juneteenth has a connection, however tenuous, to an historical event, however minor. Kwanzaa just comes out of thin air.
If I offend someone, I don't care, but if they had named "Juneteenth" something that sounded a little bit more intelligent, then it would be wholly known as a real holiday. Then this comparison to "Kwanzaa" wouldn't have to be made.
Name me another holiday that has a low-IQ sound to it. New Years Day, Presidents day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and then you have "Juneteenth". That is embarrasing.
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
Juneteenth is based on something that actually occurred.
Kwanza - no.
