Not the same.... neither of those 2 days are federal holidays in which we pay federal employees to sit at home.

I disagree. The IRA (BLM) isn't marching in parades, demanding all non-irish to pay them money (reparations) and erecting statues of dead beat criminals (George Floyd).

This has nothing to do with the end of slavery.

That aint much different than what most of them do at "work".

I don't doubt the decent motives for some who support the holiday but I also don't doubt the motives for others who'll use it as an annual means of maintaining voter rolls and registration. Cynical white liberals are the black communities worst enemy.

People have litterly been celebrating this since it happened like it's just seem to me eveyone has their panties Inna wad because it's now a federal holiday.

There are people in this world who have more interest in keeping us divided than they do seeing us come together. That's some of the heartburn you're witnessing.

How would celebrating freedom be trying to keep people divided?

We can celebrate Juneteenth, but it’s ok for others to destroy anything Southern? Guess I’m just not woke enough to understand.

Some people can’t separate the 2 things and most don’t want to really, they like to generalize things. The holiday is there’s to celebrate the holiday politics are a different issue just the Democrats looking for votes.

I'm going to have to get gubbemint job with all these paid holidays.

I’d be more upset with the people that let that stuff keep happening, they are the ones that can be replaced!

Yeah, my panties are inna wad.

It has nothing to do with the basis of the holiday.

It has a lot to do with with the process of which Biden reaches into a hat and pulls out a paid holiday when we can't pay for all the other stuff he/they have pushed through.

I say celebrate! Just don't ask me to pay for it. I know, too late. Panties still inna wad.

People are gullible. That why they do this stuff

Not if we get more stimulus checks.

I’d like to know where this Federal Holiday came from, it seemed like boom is was done. I never heard about it being a Federal holiday before that so was it passed by Congress or just a EO signed by old Joe?

Passed by congress and the Senate voted unanimously.

Tell me how Juneteenth is celebrating a huge leap towards becoming a more perfect union. It's as politically divisive now as it was 150+ years ago. The Democrats want to keep driving a wedge between the races. Jackson and Sharpton have made a nice living off racial division. And Louis Farrakhan is on a whole other level. Juneteenth is nothing more than a political ploy.

Trump did a lot for African Americans and carried on things that Juneteenth day represents. I wonder if you all would be as butthurt if Donny made it a holiday rather than old Joe.

Was there an earlier precedent, a national holiday, that moved America towards becoming a perfect union?
They could at least give it a name that describes what the dickens it represents. Juneteenth sounds like something by hobbo 7th grade teacher, Mr. Robbins, came up with.
He drank so he slurred his words a lot in class.
We always waited for him to nap about 30 minutes into class so the spit-wad wars could continue.



Ah, the good old days.

Blessings,

Sneaky, can you tell me a time in our countrie's history when we've.made a bigger jump towards freedom?
