The whole point is: You cannot win.

“Hey, man, I see you did something. Why you gotta be so racist?”

I also don’t like watermelons, but I don’t get offended when they’re offered to me.

One year ago, I had never heard of Juneteenth (or is it Juneteempf). Now, it’s our most important national holiday.

Cherlisa Starks-Richardson was disappointed when she learned that the beloved children’s museum in her community was selling a “watermelon salad” in celebration of Juneteenth.

What in the world?

[House Atreides]

Yep, the best way to celebrate Juneteenth is to serve sliced watermelon and fried chicken. Oh… and let’s not forget to schedule twerking and rap contests.

“But we don’t need the food. I want education.”

Great. Stop complaining and read a book.

[Alas Babylon!]

My credit union has a banner on its web page:

All MAX branches will be closed on Monday, June 20, 2022, in observance of Juneteenth.

I mentioned on another Junteenth thread that a local grocery chain in my town has chicken and ribs on sale this week.

Paid for in blood by White Americans. Never Forget.

I keep thinking the name of Jo Jo’s holiday is “umpfteenth”. The Goofy Let’s Go Brandon holiday. Sort of a Kwanzaa in June.

Never put a hyphenated woman in any position of power, authority, or influence.

It’s impossible to celebrate a black holiday without somebody deciding you are being racist. So why try?

[Gay State Conservative]

What's the problem with watermelon? I'm as white as white can be and I *love* watermelon. Why is it a problem if some (or,perhaps,many) black people like it too?

“People were very offended by it,”

Big news. Some people are offended by everything or anything. They are known as Liberals.

Proof that, at their core, all liberals/leftists are racist.

From the Indianapolis Children’s Museum’s watermelon salad to Walmart’s swirled red velvet and cheesecake flavored ice cream to Dollar Tree’s Pan African-themed plates and napkins, inclusion experts say corporations are missing the mark with Juneteenth. By failing to provide any historical context with these items, the companies don’t appear to have considered how they could promote stereotypes or offend Black people, experts say.

So, I guess that the burning crosses they added to "provide context" didn't help any, either?
