I believe “Shooteenth” would be a more appropriate moniker.

They should celebrate Independence Day, which honors the creation of this Great Republic in which they are privileged to live.


The official name of the holiday is ‘Juneteenth National Independence Day’. I think it’s intended to replace Independence Day, at least for 1/8 of the population.

‘Juneteenth National Independence Day’

Every word of that is a lie.

"juneteenth" isn't even a word. It's illiterate gibberish.

"National": It does not celebrate an even of national interest, nor has it anything to do with the founding of the Nation.

"Independence": It celebrates that black slaves DEPENDED on White Men to hand them freedom on a silver platter.

"Day": The process of freeing the black slaves did not occur on a single day. It took four years of exceptionally bloody war, fought by White Men.

In case it isn't obvious, I hold 'junteenth' and the mentality behind it in deep contempt.

Tucker discussing this absurd holiday with Jason Whitlock last night. Worth the 4:31. https://youtu.be/v-TdKjjSnIk

Maybe Some instead of No?

Juneteenth gives the story that extra "ironic" twist journalists love, but this is now typical of any long weekend in summer. Part of the post-Floyd new normal.

I will be very surprised if July 4th 2022 isn't the same or worse. After all it commemorated the beginning of slavery, right? /sarc

If you follow the news, you know that “Juneteenth” has been an occasion for wild, disruptive and violent activity in the black community for years. IIRC, Daytona Beach has often had issues with these “celebrations” getting completely out of hand. Now Biden has institutionalized this behavior with a federal holiday. SMH.

If you don’t have a rifle with a high-capacity magazine, you better get one soon.

When Cris Rock started out doing standup he said that if you find yourself at the corner of Malcolm X and MLK Blvd at night RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!. And he was just joking. Near my old stomping grounds in the infamous Hill section of Spring Valley, NY which is like Compton without the palm trees, the corner of MLK and Harriet Tubman Blvd is one of the most dangerous 'hoods in the Hudson Valley.

To be fair, Biden merely signed the bill creating a Federal holiday. Congress wrote and passed it with lopsided majorities.

600,000 died. Translated in % to our present population, that would be ~6,000,000! It’s an astounding number.

I think that is quite enough reparations, thank you very much.

And that doesn’t even count the trillions in welfare transfer payments from producers to takers since LBJ’s Dreadful Society Legislation in the 1960s which has absolutely devastated that whole group.

Did anyone expect anything different on St. George of Fentanyl Day?

"St. George" had a tragic life even before his tragic death. (Not that I condone his killing, but he really had never had it together to begin with. This holiday seems to reflect his downward spiral.)

My prediction: Juneteenth will become an increasingly violent day in America. Every year the carnage will get worse.

As long as it's confined to the areas when they live fine, but sooner or later it's coming to to civilized American.

Has looting been added to the planned activities?

I didn’t notice any Juneteenth activities here. But then, I live in a small island town they call “Little Norway”. My mechanic calls it “Mayberry”.

Nice place. Clean. Peaceful. Not very diverse but...
