It’s an infantile baby-talk appellation that ought not be uttered by adults.


I agree. But the rest of the holiday’s official name I find somewhat troubling. It’s the Juneteenth National Independence Day.

It took most of a week for the Union occupation forces to disperse through out Texas to confiscate useful materials, replace town/county leaders as well as the Capital in Austin.

As they went along, they also stated that slaves were free, but they really should stay in place on the farms.

That name is mendacious.
