Can anyone please explain what the heck Juneteenth holiday is for?

[Alan Stallion]

Free at last!
Thank God Almighty we are free at last!

At least as it pertained to slavery.

Didn't fully stop racist Democrats from their evil ways, but this was one of many giant leaps forward.

 

[Cougarbear]

Biden GAVE it to them in hopes they will vote for him.

No doubt...

 

[braalian]

Yeah, the last thing American workers need is another day off.

I’ll gladly take the holiday pay for those of us who actually have essential 24/7 jobs that don’t get “days off” like that

Great! Then Texas can have their own state holiday. Why am I bothered about it in California? Or anywhere else for that matter.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I only see federal business shut down. Everything else is still open. And, why on a Wednesday? More stupidity.

It is on a specific date, not unlike Christmas. Thus each year it falls on a different day of the week.

How can you be an adult and not understand this?

 

[petro]

It’s a day to watch closet racists loose their shit.

Don't worry...
July 4th is coming soon, and American hating progtards will create numerous threads about a white supremacist holiday.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I worked today.

Purely a stupid American trait to be proud of such a thing.

I took the day off, got in another round of golf and now sitting back drinking a pina colada

 

[Catsnmeters]

To bad y'all went southern strategy.

Oh well, you had the moral high ground for a few years anyhow but hey, you gotta get those southern votes.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah, the last thing American workers need is another day off.

It is just what they need.

 

[Cougarbear]

It is on a specific date, not unlike Christmas. Thus each year it falls on a different day of the week.

How can you be an adult and not understand this?

Then, so does Washington's birthday and Lincoln's birthday. Why did we switch to one day and not on their birthdays? There are others as well. Something that really belongs only in Texas. I'm sure as an adult you can understand. Well, maybe. If you are a Democrat, no.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

On a side note, the wife is getting double time for working today!

Life is good!

Yeah, but you're a stupid shill. You probably did none of that and are just lying, whereas I really went to work.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yeah, but you're a stupid shill. You probably did none of that and are just lying, whereas I really went to work.

I have no doubt you did, you are such a fine and loyal little drone!

 

[Crepitus]

What is this Juneteenth holiday that shuts down banks and post offices? Another day wasted?

Do you hate it when they shut down for christmas?

 

[ElmerMudd]

I say retardation. Why is there no retard day, hmm?

I have a hard time believing there are people as disgusting as you in the world.
Where did you come from? How do you end up so bigoted and full of hate.

 

[Crepitus]

I worked today.

I thought you claimed to be retired?

 

[ElmerMudd]

And there are dumbass MAGA Republicans acting like the holiday is a joke.
These MAGA Republicans would be southern Democrats in the 1860's.

 

[ElmerMudd]

Biden kissed up to the blacks and made it a Federal Holiday...

You are an embarrassment to white people.

 

[Cougarbear]

Do you hate it when they shut down for christmas?

Are you putting them on the same playing field. Blacks already have Martin Luther King Day. He wasn't God. Yet, notice how Blacks today are no longer following a thing King taught. BLM and other teach to judge whites by the color of their skins. So, why have that as a holiday anymore? This Juneteen is a waste of time as it was for something that happened in Texas. So, Texas can take the day off if they want to. Joey Biden just put that in to buy votes. Pathetic.

 

[ElmerMudd]

Okay, I got it. It's something about emancipation in Texas in 1865. So, what other day would Blacks like us to have as a national holiday? You have 2 of them now. We used to have two President days for holidays but now only one. A wasted day. Nonsense.

If so many MAGA Republicans were not such dumbasses they would take the opportunity that Junetenth represents emancipation of blacks led by a Republican President.
