Happy Juneteenth!

[Boardwalk]

I am off today for this holiday quite unexpectedly. We got the word late Monday afternoon that the company would be observing this holiday and closing om Wednesday. Party on!

[Adder]

the Juneteenth holiday has been sacred to many Black communities.

Really? So much so that many have never heard of it.

Happy Pandering Day!

[Gay State Conservative]

I just might celebrate it the same way that a number of black folks will celebrate....I just might go out and shoot one or two brothas and sistahs.

Yawn

[albie]

This’ll go the same route as Kwanzaa. “Happy Teenth” will be said by few and then mostly by white liberals.

[jimbug]

What an absolute bullshit excuse for a National Holiday.

[MtnClimber]

First you have to learn to shoot a pistol while holding it sideways.

Juneteenth...

When Black Americans celebrate 400 years of misspelling the English language.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Just sounds dumb to me. Like eleventeen or twelveteen. Dumb as Christmas in July.

Another article that I won’t read. Even though I m sitting for hours in a waiting room.

I'm protesting this fake, B.S. "holiday" and going to work.

Granted, it's a "fedral holiday" and the bank is closed and I'll be the only one there, but still: I'm protesting this nonsense.

H.R. will no doubt see me badge in and ask me tomorrow why I went in, at which point I'll tell them exactly why.

Let them fire me. I'll take my severange package. :-)

“For more than one-and-a-half centuries, the Juneteenth holiday has been sacred to many Black communities.”

Dog squeeze.

[escapefromboston]

Any kind of mention of his fake holiday lasted about 3 years. Now it’s a day where the bank is closed and I don’t get any mail. People already forgot about it .

“If you want to bring some authenticity to your recognition of Juneteenth, educate yourself.”

The first thing to do is to read the text of General Orders, Number 3. And ponder what you have read.

GENERAL ORDERS, NUMBER 3

The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes, and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.

[The Duke]

Oooo .. maybe I can re-use my Kwaanza candles?!?! Shouldn’t Juneteenth last for an entire week?

[Fireone]

I haven’t even taken down my kwazna decorations yet, I’d better get busy!

[Plumberman27]

The vast majority of the black community has no idea of what the hell they are celebrating! This is when republican controlled forced went into Texas and forced those democrats there free their slaves! They make up every excuse to avoid saying that but the fact remains that is what took place.

I grew up in Detroit and taught in its mostly black school system. Never heard a mention of any Juneteenth holiday. Not until a couple years ago.
