Juneteenth is the celebration of persons shooting each other at Summer community events. Concentrated into one bulletfest, it takes the pressure off of thugs to shoot each other on the 4th of July and random weekends. And, no one else but the thugs and their entourage seems to be allowed to attend these events, at least in my City, so it is a positive holiday.
It’s a long way and quite a struggle for me to get to my mailbox.
I, for one, appreciate the day off.
Besides, as we used to chant every night at Parris Island before lights out:
“God bless the United States Marine Corps, where every day’s a holiday and every meal’s a feast!”
