“If this holiday is so “real”, why have I never heard of it in my 75 years?”
‘cause you’re dumb?
The rest of what you say in the post I have no argument with.
Nearly nobody in the nation heard of "Juneteenf" before this year... so shut your silly twathole and stop calling smart old people dumb.
What I think is "dumb" is the "woke" sheeple in this country and our loser democRAT legislators who think this date rises to the importance of a paid federal holiday and failed to tell everybody what they were doing for a reason. Because people would not have agreed to it had they known what was afoot. The notoriously "dumb" democRAT Shiela Jackson Lee was the sponsor of the bill in an attempt to legitimize Critical Race Theory in our schools and corporate world. That is what is "dumb".
Dumb is not the worst thing that people have called me over the years but you are off the mark on this one genius.
