It is already a holiday in Texas, as is appropriate for a historical event in Texas.

Only because Trump was supposed to have a rally on that day, and somebody came up with the idea that “how dare Trump have a rally on Juneteenth”, even though the vast majority of the country had no idea of what Juneteenth even was.

Its a holiday because a bunch of blacks and antia burnt down the country over the summer. It’s not woth celebrating and probably in a few years no one will ever mention it again anyway.
To: janetjanet998
Great. Another day for freeloading Federal and state employees to not work. They’re already busy figuring out how to parlay this into a 3 1/2 day or four day weekend.....

Always use another day off.

I have nothing against commemorating that day, but the term “Juneteenth” has always bothered me. Me too. Thirteenth? Seventeenth? What?!

So The Senate passed a resolution. What does that mean? The House passes it as well, Biden signs it, and it's a new federal holiday. Which means Congress will take a week or two around June 19th off starting next year.

When will the Senate propose an old white dude day for the dudes who built this country?

It glorifies imprecision and the sloppy use of language. Like having Columbus day, President's day, and King day on different dates every year?

The rest of us smucks have to keep working I'm in Charlie "parker" land and this is the first year this 'holdiay' is in effect. The only reason I know is because I went to the bank yesterday and there was a HUGE sign saying the bank is closed Saturday for Juneteenth day. SMH.

This is disgusting. No mention of the men who sacrificed to free the slaves. No mention of the families torn apart by the war. Pathetic!
