I guess the emancipation proclamation wasn't good enough ? Oh yeah that holiday is already taken. And what do we get for this holiday other than the banks, government and schools are closed? As worthless as MLK, Presidents, Columbus and Veterans day.

Can we petition the fed to make March 14th (steak and blowjob day) a federal holiday? That means far more to be than some shit I had never even heard of before last year.

So a Texas thing is now national.
Next your going to tell me around Christmas the CIA/FBI will invent a holiday tradition about how Africans are hard working, loyal, kind, etc.

Erase history? How so? If anything they’re trying to bring attention to history, as ugly as it may be.

In my opinion, this is long over due.

Just another "distraction" from pressing issues on civil liberties. These sorts of things are as much political theatre as they serve to enrage conservatives to look the other way.

Misdirection. Keep your eye on the other hand. No, not the one with the red ball. The one about to pass laws to ban encryption, limit your 1st and 2nd amendment rights, and start overseas wars.

Maybe they'll take away Christmas because it's of religious origin, or July 4th since a bunch of White guys signed the declaration, or ....

And that is coming from a veteran.

I am not saying at a personal level people have not made it a day of recognition, not that many vets IMO even care or want any. I loathe the awkward thanks that people give for something I did half a life time ago. At a federal level its a second rate holiday, I have worked every single veterans day in my working life including when I served. It does not have the power of Christmas, Memorial Day, New years, Easter, The 4th or Thanksgiving.

Yea, but if you manage to remember it's Veteran's Day, remember the places that offer it, and can get over the awkwardness of asking if the specific restaurant is participating in it, there's free food in it for you. So maybe a quarter-step above President's Day.

The CDC is taking this holiday seriously! I didn't realize the feds could get anything done this quickly!


"The CDC's independent advisory group, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, will meet next week to review the cases. The meeting was originally scheduled for Friday, but was rescheduled late Thursday after President Joe Biden signed a bill into law declaring Juneteenth a federal holiday. Because June 19 falls on a Saturday this year, it will be observed on Friday, June 18."
