So if the company I work for doesn’t close on this new federal holiday, does that mean I work for a racist company?
Inquiring minds....
We don’t need another secular “holiday”!! PHOOEY!!!!
Juneteenth celebrations in the DC area always end in gunfire, and not the celebratory kind.
All we need now is a new police shooting of a black criminal and we’ll be all set for national riots this weekend!
Kowtowing to blacks, in the hope that they will remain peaceful, in the same way they cower to Muzzies.
A holiday celebrating when the whites and some blacks freed the slaves sold by the blacks.
When do the slave freeing families get reparations for the lives lost?
Eliminate Martin Luther King Day, they (BLM and others) don’t honor what he represented anyway.
Can we get a holiday from all the black violence? That would be a nice change.
Some negro in Texas found out he was free in June, though slavery ended on January 1st.
So, a holiday for a misinformed negro.
This is stupid. Juneteenth isn’t even emancipation day. Juneteenth was a day, a couple of years after emancipation, when the news finally arrived at a community of slaves around Houston.
Trust me, this is the forerunner to replacing Independence Day, July 4th, with this.
It’s coming.
Always take the opportunity to remind democrats they were defeated in their quest to preserve slavery and it is a great day to celebrate.
Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, but did not die until several hours later, on the morning of April 15.
Juneteenth, the day Blacks found out that Republicans ended the enslavement of Blacks by DemocRATS. Why isn’t this the message of every conservative news site and Republican politician?
Juneteenth day? Good grief. Since there’s a holiday for everything now how about we make Tuesday November 8 freedom from Hillary day, in honor of her 2016 defeat. A much more worthy holiday in my opinion.
I understand this is the anniversary of when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas, issued General Order No. 3, which announced that in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.”
Why isn’t the national Emancipation Proclamation the day they celebrate?
Africanization continues.
The progressives are scared to death they will lose the negro vote. They pander to the negros unabashedly
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
