Juneteenth

So go to work. I have it on good authority that no one will miss you at home. Rather they’ve planned a celebration to rejoice in your absence.

They will celebrate the fact that your dreary, sad sack self is gone for the day!

...You know Juneteenth is shorthand for June 19th, right? So Thursday is the actual date.

I love how you act like this is obvious, when it could also reasonably mean June thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, or nineteenth... Why in the world do we not refer to it by something more descriptive, like the celebration of emancipation, or the end of slavery in the United States. Is absolutely something we should all celebrate in our country, but the title diminishes it as something relevant for a subset of Americans.

Because the people that initially started the celebration called it that. The title doesn't change the meaning of the celebration nor does it diminish anything. If white people can't rename it, it doesn't matter? Really think about what you're saying, because it sounds like you're reaching for any reason to take issue with this celebration. Why is that?

I thought he said he was eliminating it but, as usual, that was pandering to the lowest common denominator. My DH has tomorrow off still.

So go to work. LOL. We know you will just enjoy the day like everyone else and are just signaling you're not "woke" (aka, you are not capable of not being a jerk).

I love that it's on a Thursday this year. I only need to blow 1 day of PTO to get a 4-day weekend. Thanks Biden!

Anyway, I'm excited because this is going to be our first NO RAIN weekend in like a month. Heading to the beach for the weekend.

You mean like how we call “the 4th of July” : “the 4th of July” — and expect people to actually learn more about the history behind “Independence Day” — and how “independence “ was really “something (only) relevant for a subset of Americans “?

Seems like a bait thread to pick a fight. Carry on.

Once I was old enough to understand what “Independence Day” actually celebrated, I didn’t really celebrate it in any meaningful way. This year, I might try to plan something that celebrates the ideals of the United States, while doing something more community oriented for Juneteenth.

I am sure Stephen Miller remembers, and let's remember that Trump's brain is Swiss cheese. Who is really calling the shots?

I am surprised that Trump has not removed the holiday by executive order.

I’m surprised too. I actually was kind of expecting Trump to do just that — as part of his birthday celebrations.

Jesus, these maga idiots don’t even know how to use a calendar.

Help me! I’m so confused by days and numbers! I only had an entire year to plan!

OMG study a little history. Stupid people in TX took 2 1\2 extra years to end slavery... June 19, 1865.

I doubt he does anything about it. He is kind of weird about Black people.

Kind of weird about black people? He hates black people.
