Tell them we also want a day to recognize the victims of Communism. I want a day recognizing all the White Soldiers who fought and died freeing the slaves. (For all the damn' good that did our country ... just look at how they act and behave now.)

Just what America needs, another federal holiday. More folks getting paid for not working.

Makes sense for Texas. Its a joke to make it a federal holiday.
To: janetjanet998
you would think, that a more intelligent name would have been thought up... But then I recall a billboard I see daily here commuting to work from Western Michigan University... Displays some goofy looking middle aged black dude with big letters “Be You Here”... It honestly took me a half dozen times passing it to finally understand what it meant.
Juneteenth to celebrate the end of Slavery... Yawn...

Last year, Gov. “Blackface” Northam signed a bill repealing the Virginia Commonwealth’s longstanding Lee-Jackson Day. It was replaced with the completely unnecessary Election Day holiday, another day off for shiftless Democrat voters.

Tell Seattle to stop celebrating Mardi Gras as well.

Memorial Day Nope. If blacks get "Juneteenth" to celebrate their freedom from slavery riot to get more free stuff, then I want a holiday specifically to celebrate the white soldiers who freed them.
Fair's fair.

Just what America needs, another federal holiday. More folks getting paid for not working. Hasn't that been the case for the most part since the start of the COVID lockdowns?

Another day off for the folks in Government offices. That’s one fewer day they can screw us.
I would be happy if the only worked 10 days a year.
To: janetjanet998
Republicans are retards. This gives the bad guys yet another excuse to “celebrate” annually how America is a fundamentally evil country that is permanently and forever stained by the original sin of slavery.

Who do you think you are?
Without slaves, there would be no elite class.
