Slavery was, by far, the greatest flaw of this country's founding, and a serious wrong inflicted on its citizens. I find it entirely proper to commemorate this country's repudiation of that enormity.

Woo boy, a lot of "not racist" people on Facebook sure are angry about Juneteeth becoming a federal holiday.
Not one single post about it on my feed, thankfully.

One of my Texas friends texted me making sure I knew Texas was taking credit for it.

Not wanting JT to be a holiday is kind of a weird hill to die on. It's not like there's some imaginary holiday saturation point at risk here.

The only people who care are ones that think it was only created as a **** you to Trump.

Juneteenth is a no-brainer. Horrible name, though. Seriously, was Emancipation Day taken?

Emancipation Day exists and has caused tax season to extend a day longer than usual a few times over the years

I feel more annoyed by this than I should be, even though this is par for the course with Trump-servatives.

I am not seeing individuals posting about the holiday on FB, but I am seeing institutions trying like hell to be the most Juneteenthiest. My law school made a post stating they acknowledged it months ago. :lol:

I wonder if pride month is jealous.

Juneteenth will be used by corporations for financial gain just like Pride month has been.

oh of course. Car dealerships have turned “remember those who died in war” into a sales opportunity. No doubt they’ll turn “the end of slavery” into a sale too

It's good to see new videos and to revisit old ones to remember just how shitty these people are.

So I saw a TikTok video that got me wondering... what the actual f*ck happened in the Las Vegas shooting? Did that ever get resolved or more information about that day? Was motive ever established? I mean, it's only the deadliest mass shooting in American history....
