    Juneteenth

    When did Juneteenth become a big nationwide deal?

    In Texas it has been a big deal for a long time, then I saw the Juneteenth episode of Atlanta a couple years ago and thought...this is starting to spread....now it’s a federal holiday.

    Kinda cool.

    We need a holiday in August. 8-8 for the Chinese that built the railroads. Or Hot Girl Summer day. Something.

    Trump never having heard of it made Juneteenth famous.

    Legit question

    I got a corporate wide email from my CEO saying “Happy Juneteenth”. Is that what we are going for here with this? Isn’t this like a solemn Holliday for reflection or some shit.

    I have to head for a graduation in Columbus in the whitest suburb imaginable. I’m going to pick up a few cases of Colt 45 and Old English 800 if they still make it and insist they swap out the White Claw for an appropriate Juneteenth drink. Some of you less woke folks won’t do your part and that’s why we are all screwed.

    It’s like an Independence Day for former slaves and their descendants. Should non-Black descendents of colonial Americans treat Independence Day as a solemn occasion given that it marks the ending of taxation-without-repreentation slavery by the British?

    Next year Juneteef falls on Father’s Day. Naturally not a conflict of interest for those who celebrate each.

    Walter, be honest, did you even celebrate or think about Juneteenth before Trump made it famous?

    I didn't think much about it before and I don't think much about it now. But if it's an opportunity for people to learn something, great.

    TEENTH is an abbreviation of one-sixteenth of an ounce (1.75 grams). It is typically used to refer to a measure of cocaine, but can be used to refer to other drugs. A TEENTH is also known as a Teener or half an 8-Ball.
    So they were on drugs when they thought of it.

    Hey oh what about a holiday for AMERICAN INDIANS, ya know the ones who we stole this country from.

    I’ve always felt the Juneteenth push was misaligned. Is a holiday appropriate for something regarding freeing the slaves but it seems they’ve pushed for referring to it as Black Independance Day as if they are trying to deflect from those racists founding fathers who declared our Independance from the UK. I’ve always felt the appropriate holiday would be in September when Lincoln actually issued EO 1862-90 aka the Emancipation Proclamation. But that’s just my opinion. Our Independance was declared but wasn’t affirmed until we won against the Brits in 1781 thus why the same logic seems appropriate for the same regarding a freeing of the slaves holiday n

    Black history month, mlk day and Juneteenth just too much overkill for mostly criminals.

    Why? Seriously DR! Why? What does this promote to you? What are you hoping we all become more aware of? There is a reason I blocked you on Twitter and blocked your number. It is literally going to be because of you and the disgustingly racist things you post that will ultimately make me leave this board. I am truly ashamed of the fact that I even know you! You know what "White Ghost" and "The General" are not just racist, but anti-semitic. The fact that you support such hatred (and yes, by reposting things you are bringing attention and showing support for those awful people), should be eye opening on its own. The fact that these posters would just as happily see the world rid of guys like me, Druff, and other Jews tells me all I need to know about you. I don't care how many people defend your taste in "ethnic women", my mind is made up about you. Have a nice life Adolph.
