Juneteenth
-
Entire generations of white folk have been trained to believe that belittling themselves for their skin color is a demonstration of high human character, and not a single one of them thinks such demonstrations of character entail any personal sacrifice. And in fact, those responsible for propagating that messaging and educating those generations of white folk, do not sacrifice anything by it. On the contrary, they gain social status and financial status by it, to some extent.

June 19th is a shitty time of year to have a holiday. All the graduations just happened as has Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. People are just gearing up for Fourth of July.
When the holiday happens mid week it’s even worse.
It’s just stupid. At least make it a Monday or Friday.
No one wants to lose a floating holiday for a tues, wed, or Thursday during that time of year. Oh and what about if it’s a sat or Sunday. Is the Friday or Monday off?

@89th said in Juneteenth:
MLK is the only American to have his own federal holiday.
Since Jesus Christ is always everywhere could He not be considered American?
And a lot of Veterans were/are American.
