POCs worked both yesterday and today, especially as restaurant workers, movers, hardware stores, etc etc.

Government bureaucrats, mostly white, got a three-day weekend.

How about giving it a more adult-sounding name, like say Emancipation Day?

Perhaps it will go the way of Kwansa. Gee, I hope I spelled that right.

How about we stop catering to this perpetually disgruntled demographic? How about we admit this whole schtick is for when we throw even more useless trillions into the ghetto?

This crap is nauseating.

Wonder when black people in Delaware will celebrate their “Juneteenth” as they were still slaves until the 13th Amendment was ratified in Dec of 1865.

People forget that not all slave states joined the South. Five remained in the Union in the Civil War.

I’m going to celebrate June 19th as the day that the US executed 2 communist spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenburg. We should call it Communist Execution Day.

Hey it’s s all a crock of Shiite. Were hospitals abandoned, did the electricity go off, did the gas stations and restaurants close? We have more dumbasses in this country than you can shake a large sharp stick at and they work for our government. IMO

Juneteenth is at least based on an actual historical event : the Day President Trump scheduled a rally.

"Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware. And from 1863, the new state of West Virginia.

" DC was also a slave state at the beginning, although slave-trading had been otlawed there."
