Take the days with pay and do your own thing
So when is Old Fat White Man Day? My people deserve a holiday too!
I think we should have an official Old Fat White Men Month.
“MLK Day, Black history month, and now Juneteenth, a little over the top isn’t it?”
You forgot “Pride Month and A Half”!
They can disparage Christmas, 4th of July or any other traditional holiday.
But, don’t you dare criticize or poke fun at any of their manufacturered “holidays”!
Consider me in. I'll bring a cooler of White Claws.
Isane. His comment is not offensive and yeah, it’s a fake holiday.
Guy was stupid for posting what he did.
Board was stupid for letting him go.
Every day for me. 😘
Juneteenth became a national holiday simply out of spite of President Trump. Lets see any republican put up a law removing it as federal holiday, I doubt it since they are all cowards.
“Guy was stupid for posting what he did.”
Why?
Never forget that. It only happened because the MSM noted that Trump's rally was on Juneteenth, even though 90% of the country outside of the State of Texas had never even heard of it.
——you must not speak disparagingly of it.-——
Why not?...... Juneteenth is nothing but more progressive Black Ass Kissing to maintain the hold on the slim Black majority required to control the coalition of City States
‘Juneteenth should be marked as the day Republican troops under the command of a Republican president freed the last of the slaves held captive by Democrats.’
Which Republican president commanded troops on June 19, 1865?
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the date that news of the Emancipation Proclamation was first announced in Galveston, Texas, almost two and a half years after it had been signed by Republican President Lincoln and over two months after Democrat insurrectionists assassinated Lincoln. It started out as a black holiday in Galveston, then Texas, and then somehow spread from there.
Basically, it is a celebration of very slow mail delivery and the day when blacks in Galveston first learned that Republicans had taken Democrats' slaves away.
Yes....I understand all that.....MY basic comment was mainly about the “rebelling states” part of the Proclamation. IOW Missouri, a slave state AND part of the union and not ‘rebelling’ would be technically not affected, right? Words have meanings and there was a reason ole’ Abe chose those words.
This is all just renewed vigor by blacks, social media, MSM and even our leftist government to drudge up old chatter that was done and gone long ago. I put this Juneteenth in the same category as Kwanzaa....
Hendersonville is 20 miles south of Asheville and is full of liberal Boomers and a dwindling population of The Greatest Generation Ever.
Just as anywhere the vocal dems take issue with anything they can to proclaim their moral self righteousness.
One rotten one spoils the whole barrel.
And,the Hendersonville Times is a Gannet rag that relishes the chance to take shots at conservatives or transgressions against the woke agenda.
