if you ask me, its simply not enough
we shouldn't rest until every day celebrates black people, that every school and city street be named after a black person and that every person represented in all media is black.
yes, only then will there be true solidarity in America for 12% of the population

Oh, and dont you dare mention crime stats or IQ scores, you racist asshole

Would it be racist to think that Malt Liquor sales will do the same on the Juneteenth holiday?

Yeh, it would be, so I won’t say it.

And I'm sure the beer sales on both of those days pale in comparison to the number of beer sales and DWI's that take place on St. Patrick's day

something like this will be immune to introspection, because of the emotional transference heaved on it, but Juneteenth origins dont even make sense. Its not the Emancipation Proclamation (which was truly meaningless) but the supposed day the news of the EP reached the Texas territories....
mmkay, but what of the intent of the Missouri Compromise? durrrr retardo significance

Things like this and the Civil Rights Act of 65 or Homer Plessey arent really accomplishments. Sure, they are historical footnotes but they dont offer any historical achievement for humanity. Its like making a National holiday out of the day Ted Kennedy forced Boston public school busing.

In fairness, Columbus Day was only really a thing because they wanted to paint Italians in a better light. Most holidays are bullshit.

Hell, I'd rather celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day, that's a real American Hero.

National donut day is more deserving.

It benefits all!

Here's a list of the countries with the most annual holidays:

Cambodia - 28
Sri Lanka - 25
India, Kazakhstan - 21
Colombia, Philippines - 18

What do they have in common? They're poor. Nobody's working, because they're all on holiday.

It looks like the USA is now going to one-up these shitholes. Our politicians not only have come up with a new holiday, but they've provided huge incentives to people to sit home and watch TV instead of working. That's what happens when you provide long term unemployment benefits that sometimes pay more than gainful employment. And now some joker like ts Winn Dixie comes along and expects us to give the gays and transsexuals and everyone else a whole month off. You get Pete Buttigieg elected along with a bunch of progressives in Congress and I can guarantee that's what's going to happen.

Well screw this idea. If you want to substitute Juneteenth Day for something like Thanksgiving or Christmas have at it. But no new holidays.

Btw, I have speculated here that Nancy Pelosi is a transsexual. This is possible confirmation, because ts WD wants to bang Nancy. Winn, as much as I'd like you to be my wingman when I go to Washington D.C. to woo Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, I'm not going to sit in a hotel room and watch trans on trans sex. Just be forewarned.

My beloved is not a trans. And ts winn dixie does not find pelosi doable
