[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a large and very diverse place in DC - people love this holiday, particularly Black people who work here. If you think it doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter in your bubble. [/quote] This is understandable, but not particularly relatable for most Americans. African Americans are roughly 12% of the population, but they are the most vocal and persistently aggrieved minority group no matter how many programs are funded, leaders elected, artists recognized, etc.. They carry the scars of slavery and discrimination seemingly without end. I will personally never feel any excitement or affinity for Juneteenth, but I suppose it has a role to play in teaching part of our shared history. [/quote] I learned during George Floyd riots and Juneteenth lobbying days that it’s racist to eat watermelon anywhere in the world or America.[/quote]
