I thought it was a Texas thing, Juneteenth?
Told they were free and been complaining about it ever since
Another wasted holiday.
It was, now just another fake holiday.
There are just too many of these cotton-pickin’ holidays.
It was. But it escaped!
Juneteenth - The day the Texas slaves were informed that the Republicans had freed them from their DemocRAT masters. The DemocRATs have been angry ever since.
Cinco de Mayo for the blacks.
And like Cinco de Mayo, it’s just another government sanctioned day of wilding.
“What’s open and closed on Juneteenth 2026?” Whoopee, I’ve been anxiously waiting for this, I identify as a Juneteenther.
ISWYDT!.................
Another non-holiday killing production.
It started in Texas, but bow it’s enshrined in the Federal giveaway system..............
It goes against the idea of assimilating.
Rumor has it Jet Magazine has a special issue being delivered today.
Pathetic. MLK Day, Kwanzaa, BHM, Juneteenth…up next George Floyd Day.
I got dragged to a Caribbean resort (not US territory) a few years back and I found it hilarious they had a 4th of July party. I didn’t go I thought it was stupid.
Is de learing centers be open?
Junteenth. Fly those rainbow flags.
By white people...............
