Thoughts?
Personally I think the holiday has potential. If it’s de-wokified and the entire scope of the abolition movement was truly celebrated and understood. Especially from a Christian and patriotic standpoint.
President Trump himself said he'll support making Juneteenth a federal holiday.
Trump pledges to make Juneteenth federal holiday in bid for Black voters
ATLANTA (Reuters) - President Donald Trump made a series of promises at a campaign event in Atlanta on Friday in a bid to woo Black voters, including establishing Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of U.S. slavery, as a federal holiday.
[HAPPY TRANSGENDER GYMNAST AWARENESS MONTH!]
And here I forgot to get an aluminum pole.
Now for the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people...
Yes, Candace Owens is great. I really like her as well.
Beautiful and intelligent.
Obviously she’s right.
Juneteenth Victim Day.
Sounds about right.
Almost as good as Quanza.
Praise the lord and pass the chick peas.
The Dem socilaists will do anything to tiurn America into a giant Slave Plantation of Victims.
Just move to Georgia y’all and vote for Herchal Walker. Apparently Herch is running against Warnock.
The Refrigerator does not want to live on a national plantation with the lefty Marxists as the Slave Drivers.
“Hershel Walker appears to have moved back to GA to run against Warnock”

Our first ebonics holiday.
Comes with the warning that white people better not celebrate it. [Not to worry]
Yah...great idea. Gonna fade like National Pickle Day.
She’s great.I follow her on Twitter because she’s not only right but a good read, very witty. I thought she was planning on going into politics…I hope she does!
Just one day to celebrate Juneteenth? Shouldn’t leftist blacks be giving the whole month of June off from work, not just one day? On second thought, why not give them the whole year off with pay?
And what about a holiday to celebrate the life and accomplishments of George Floyd?
Want another? wakanda.
Just more irrelevant BS the media tosses out to try and divide all of us.
The real truth is if the BLM protesters ever realized that it was Democrats who left the union and the Democrats wanted to keep slaves, and then after the Civil War ended Democrats still tried to control them thru laws and by segregating them, People of Color would never cast another vote for a Democrat again. In addition, Democrats have never apologized for how they mistreated People of Color! It is clear Democrats (Not Republicans) owe People of Color reparations! These statues of Civil War confederate soldiers, they were also erected by Democrats too! Even now we see police in cities controlled by democratic mayors being the places where more people of color die than ever on a daily basis. It astounds me as to how People of Color have been lied to by Democrats all these years even after the 60’s where we saw Martin Luther King killed in a city run by a Democratic mayor. Don't give me that line about old history because even today we see more People of Color killed in cities run by Democrats and police controlled by Democratic mayors than ever. Go ahead tell me I am wrong. Not a thing I posted is false. The evidence is overwhelming Democrats are not on the side of People of Color. These “Social Programs” designed by Democrats limit what a person can earn without losing one's benefits and are not done on proper gradual decrease or increase as needed. Once a person gets so far up the ladder in life they cut the legs off from under them and they end up right back in the hole by design in a never ending system of poverty. All designed by you guessed it, Democrats.
Anybody else think that this new Federal Holiday serves to rub it in that our government workers now are even more compensated and awarded than ever before? Gone, even further, into the dustbin of history is the old 'civil contract' where the accepted differentiation was that government workers got guaranteed jobs, good holiday & vacations and retirements while marketplace workers got good advancement OPPORTUNITIES & PAY for MERIT, risks for unemployment and uncertain retirements! When was the last time that a Civil Service employee was fired for cause, hmmm?
Robert A Heinlein, "Time Enough for Love" (1973), "In a mature society, 'civil servant' is semantically equal to 'civil master'."
If they can’t pronounce JUNE NINETEENTH, then maybe they can’t find a way to get an ID.
Just like Democrats want and need Candace. Abusing black Americans is how Democrats remain in power.
4th of July we Demanded our Freedom.
Juneteenth they were "Given" theirs.
You don't have to look far in the Great Society / Welfare State to see that these people do not appreciate things given to them.
Historians say that Rome eventually fell, as they had SO MANY holidays, reasons to not work. For the Japanese we need to e’remember the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped, and for the Mexicans, March 6th, 1837 the Alamo, and the Native Americans, Custers Last Stand..., and for those WRITE people who got slaughtered by Cheyennes on the Oregon Trail, and make a holiday to remember that FDR, never received any refugees fleeing Spain in 1938..he nailed the doors shut in NYC and sent to Laredo to cross into Mexico. There is a LOT of sad, very unfortunate things that happened to every race. Don’t forget the Irish, and the poor Vietnamese soldiers who stood with us... many ended up and formed their ghettos of Hmongs...so what is the point of this? WHY FOR GOSH SAKES, IF THIS COUNTRY IS SO RACIST, WHY, OR WHY, IS THE ENTIRE WORLD DYING TO COME, AND PAY THEIR LAST CENT TO SET THEIR FOOT UPON AMERICAN SOIL AND BREATH FREDOM. It Must be the Best Country in the entire World. Now...I’ll go get my coffee.
And that is its purpose. We now have kwanzaa, juneteenff, MLK day, black history month, so that we are never more than a few months away from constant official propaganda about how evil Whites are.
This is to prepare us for reparations. (But that will not be the end of it.)
This should not be a “national holiday”. A remembrance yes, but not a national holiday.
we have enough national holidays. It’s not a Hallmark push to have everyday a holiday to buy cards.
Same here she understands what is is happening.
It took all of 2 years for Democrats to train black Americans to worship criminals.
