OK, so this is mostly just a blowing-off-steam thread. (PLEASE feel free to post your steam!)
I'm disgusted by this nonsense. This is nothing but a "stick it to white Americans" ploy. Another childish, babyish action with zero background. Suddenly some local-yokel thing even blacks didn't know about is a national celebration.
When I kept hearing fireworks tonight around our neighborhood, it finally occurred to me it's probably about "Juneteenth"!
Not here. Just below the Mason-Dixon Line.
This is akin to the Cinco deMayo garbage. A local-only Mexican commemoration turned into a National American holiday. I ain’t buying that it’s just a way for Corona beer to make money. Liberals embrace it lock, stick and barrel as another way to undermine the USA.
That thread was what inspired me.
Additionally this triggers me more because June NINEteenth is my sister’s birthday. She died 8 years ago of very rare and bad cancer. I couldn’t give a rip about this black garbage.
What is April 20?
I stand with Andrew Jackson, “Our Federal Union, it must be preserved.” I am an America First Jacksonian. Jackson would have crushed the Rebellion quickly. And I stand with the Southern Unionists, who fought for the USA, not hate it like you do.
Oh geesh!
Lake Oswego was where my uncle and aunt lived (they were the oldest of the siblings and they are gone now)!
That’s disgusting.
I’m sure this holiday will be observed just as faithfully as Kwanzaa.
I hope you are right.
OTOH, I foresee EXTRA pandering in the stores and on TV at Kwanzaa time.
I also note that these sanctimonious power people as Iprinted never send out messages app out other holidays. Maybe Earth Day, because that’s another religion of theirs. But basically, you won’t get any email about Christmas or Veterans Day or Labor Day for that matter.
Fireworks go boom.
9mm rounds go pop,pop,pop.
It goes further.
They have their own national anthem and they are working to cancel the American flag.
Their ancestors fought to be included in the American way of life and some gave their lives for that. Now their decendents are hell bent to segregate themselves.

You’re absolutely right.
A day that has something to do with marijuana. Since I don’t smoke the stuff myself, I don’t know any of the details.
“This is akin to the Cinco deMayo garbage.”
No. Juneteenth is a completely American (Texas) grass roots celebration that evolved completely naturally. It began by Americans for Americans.
Currently the Marxists who have pulled off a totalitarian coup are usurping and perverting and exploiting it to their own totalitarian purposes.
I think it’s like Cinco de Mayo in that people get mixed up as to what it stands for. But that’s the only similarity.
“I think it’s like Cinco de Mayo in that people get mixed up as to what it stands for”
Celebrates the last two weeks before the French took over Mexico City.
“I’m sure this holiday will be observed just as faithfully as Kwanzaa.”
Kwanzaa is fake. Made up out of whole cloth by a 60’s radical Marxist professor.
Juneteenth or Jubilee is a real celebration began by Christian Anericans in Texas spontaneously and naturally in 1866 to celebrate the end of slavery.
The government didn’t invent it. A Marxist ideologue didn’t invent. American families and friends simply celebrated it, on their own.
Juneteenth is not a bad thing at all or fake thing at all, but its usurpation, perversion and exploitation by the totalitarian cartel that has taken over is.
“Celebrates the last two weeks before the French took over Mexico City.”
Yeah. I’m not even sure. Something to do with a Mexican army victory over the French.
All related to corrupt European monarchy trying to install an Austrian as Emperor of Mexico.
Today the equivalent is the EU elite (a type of monarchy) trying to run every other country.
” Something to do with a Mexican army victory over the French.”
The French drove the Mexicans back inside their fort before running low on ammo. French regrouped and took the city two weeks later then took Mexico City.
Not something I would celebrate!
No, they are similar in that neither was anything close to a “national” holiday but has been catapulted to that level.
This is like Defender’s Day in Baltimore. I wish DD got that much recognition even here at home.
I don’t care about how natural it is or not. It’s about one thing now, regardless of past. Beating up on the USA and whites.
Today one of my sisters (her bday today, BTW, RIP) black neighbors, always self-consciously pushing anything black, wore a shirt to our niece’s birthday party.
CROSSED-OUT “July 4”, below it “June 19…my ancestors weren’t free in 1776”.
Ggrrrr.
