Hm, it seems cooler than I thought. I thought it was a new invention. Now that I've googled it I feel bad about making fun of it.

And that's part of the problem. We've got all these people making all these pronouncements about the black community, when in reality they really don't know sheep shit from wild honey...Unless you've grown up with them and known them all your life, some of your (collective you) understanding is incomplete.

It's not a holiday, there is no holiday to respect.

Never heard of it. Neither had any of the black people I've asked about it.

So, I can actually get behind a holiday that commemorates the freeing of the slaves. It's symbolically a major turning point in this country, and quite frankly, it's a good reminder to BLM today that slaves were freed 150 years ago.

@Loki ouststanding!
Tomorrow I'll go for a saunter, perhaps an amble!
If I'm feeling adventurous, I might even stroll!

Ok, this was just funny. Our 'county executive' sent out the now-obligatory Juneteenth message and it started like this:
On June 19, 1865, our nation stood together in solidarity as we marked the emancipation of African Americans from slavery in the United States...
Um, no it didn't.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

Yeah, how about that? They stood in solidarity to remove an institution that they "invented" (see Tim Kaine reference).
