Texas was not the last state to free slaves.
Some kept them until December 1865.

They’re scared of blacks. Even Trump tried to bribe them. Nothing in return. Do we owe them? Be honest. Oh i get it. we’re doing it for ourselves. MLK Day came at the expense of one of the presidents.

Yeah bending over for BLM terrorists will win you some black votes . Republicans are pathetic worms. If it HAS to be a holiday it should just be one for the state of Texas. It makes no sense for it to be a holiday at the federal level. Rolling over for cry baby blacks is only going to lead to more BLM violence.

Unanimous? Nice to see the Republicans are nice and bipartisan for a change.
Yet another day for freelance reparations collection.
Now there are three federal holidays for African Americans. Martin Luther King's Birthday, George Floyd Memorial Day, and this.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to celebrate December 6th, 1865? The passing of the 13th amendment to the Constitution would be a much better holiday for blacks to celebrate.

But, but, but...I thought we could not have names for holidays...because some people might get their feelings hurt?
And besides, who gets holidays? Except federal and municipal employees? And teachers? Oh, yea...forgot about our elected OFF-icials?

I have nothing against commemorating that day, but the term “Juneteenth” has always bothered me. It glorifies imprecision and the sloppy use of language.

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.

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.....
