That would be Kwanzaa. Completely made up, whereas apparently Juneteenth was historically observed. However, what’s irksome about the latter is its formal title “Juneteenth National Independence Day.” The concept is “liberation,” not “independence.” The non sequitor is an intentional effort to give the day the same importance as July Fourth Independence Day. If it were appropriate to equate the two, which it’s not, the proper day would be the day the day the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, not the anniversary of this insecure event

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.
