Vanity: I get Half a Day Off for Juneteenth!!!!!
Vanity ^ | June 16, 2020 | Me

Posted on 06/16/2020 4:44:20 AM PDT by C19fan

I just received an e-mail from the CEO saying the offices will close at 2 pm on Friday to observe Juneteenth. Why only a half a day off??? Damn racist of him.

It's probably something I would have blurted out at work if my company had done that - then I would be an EX employee ...

I swear this holiday just became a thing once Trump announced a rally on that date.

OMG. Remember when we thought things couldn’t get any worse than Bill Clinton, i.e., “the good ol’ days”?

I have never heard of Juneteenth until the president changed his Protest of Radical Left Dems event in Tulsa, aka, rally. Is this something new? I’m usually pretty aware of the important news items....oh. That must be it.

I heard of it before. It seems to be a big deal in the Texas African-American community.

Per Wiki: “Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth)...”

Should independence day be called “Julorth”?

Sure, it's a thing here in NE Oklahoma and all over the south. Everybody knows about it, and it's not unusual for blacks to celebrate it.

Honestly, I think it ought to be a national holiday. Call it Emancipation Day, and make it By G-d on June Nineteenth for the historical significance, not "On the Monday preceding it" as has been done with other holidays.

“I have never heard of Juneteenth until the president changed his Protest of Radical Left Dems event”

I’ve heard the term in passing, but I thought it was a joke. Turns out I was right.
