I’m offended — by both the sculpture and the holiday.
“Monday, June 19 Juneteenth 2023”
Don’t get pissed when Kwanzaa makes that list.....because its coming.
I think we are refered to as “crackers” now......but I could be wrong. 😏
Why not First Ladys' Day?
Or Federal Bureaucrats Day, to celebrate the hundreds of thousands of workers who make our lives better?
Oooh...I know...Department of the Interior day, since that Department head is locked in the Safe Room during SOTU?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Actually, Arizona did support MLK Jr. Day. There were two ballot measures, one to replace Columbus Day with MLK Jr. Day, and the other to retain Columbus Day while also establishing MLK Jr. Day. People tended to vote for one measure or the other but not for both, so neither passed. The Yes votes combined, though, were a clear majority. Classic split-the-vote politics.
Maybe it’s regional.
Whatever slang racist name whites are called, it doesn’t matter.
Because we’re white…

Major league wide spread Negro Fatigue will do this.
They didn’t include another option: NOT IMPORTANT. That one gets my vote.
Neither is black history month unless there is a white guys history month.
The “sculpture”? I thought it was a guy with his head up his rectum.
I think the man had good ideas but only got a national holiday because he was murdered.
MLK Day ranks right up there with Curried Chicken Day.
And Nation Nothing Day! Which says a lot ..or, maybe nothing.
And National Nothing Day! Which says a lot ..or, maybe nothing.
By a racist democrat.
“Presidents’ Day is patriarchal and foments toxic masculinity.”
And that’s a great thing!
I’ve seen quite a few toxic dykes along the way.
Wearing oversized work boots, tattoos and chain smoking.
More macho than most men..or at least exaggerated manliness.
Can we end that?
OMG. Thanks for that - LOL!
Brimming with estrogen, those two.
JFK and MLK shared one trait which led both to their status as icons and to their shared experience of being assassinated. That trait was the ability to receive the support of all the factions in their "party."
JFK had the support of every branch of Democrats at the time, from the Reaganesque faction (which eventually left the party) through the unionists like HHH and the Southern racists like LBJ, all the way over to the McCarthy/McGovern social-libs. After JFK's death, LBJ became President, but the main battle for supremacy in the party was between the HHH unionists and the social-libs: the libs would have won in '68 if RFK hadn't been assassinated, but they won the party in '72 with McGovern, and (not counting a short stint with Carter) have been running the party ever since.
By the same token, MLK was the only black leader in American history to be able to join under his leadership the Booker-T-Washington black conservatives, the WEB-DuBois black social-libs, and the Black-Muslim-Panther-Us-UHURU revolutionaries. After MLK's death, the black conservatives lost all standing in the civil rights movement, which became a vehicle for the social-libs, who have used the violence of the revolutionaries when they have found it useful, and have convinced the non-black population that they and they alone represent the total history of the civil rights movement--including wearing the mantle of MLK. The Bookerite conservatives, like the Reagan Democrats, ended up in the GOP, where they still don't get the credit they deserve.
I finally tested negative for COVID on Saturday, so I took the holiday as an opportunity to continue the rest/recovery.
