What an absolute bullshit excuse for a National Holiday.

If the whole story was known, it is a great holiday.

Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas after years of fighting democrats.

The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree of the Republican President of the USA.

This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

It is a holiday for freedom loving Republicans of all skin shades.

Nice try, but most of the people posting comments on the Juneteenth threads don’t care about its origins.

They prefer instead to make mocking and derogatory comments about black people.

And we thought we left elementary school decades ago..!
