The only thing it means to me is the post office is closed

We’re pretending to have a president as well.

I'm a Texan, and I remember talking to non-Texans about Juneteenth close to 20 years ago. They had no idea what I was talking about. It has always been a day that was taught in Texas history, because it's an important day in Texas history, but that's it. Just Texas, because that's what it observes. The day the slaves in Texas were told they were free. Making it a federally observed holiday is very ridiculous. I don't understand why the actual day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed isn't the day that's observed.

Thirteen years ago I had a business on Galveston island, the origin of this
Holiday. I had hired a young woman of mixed descent to help in the shop i ran. She said three days into working the moment we were closing the store for the day that she wouldn’t be coming in on the busiest day of the week because it was Juneteenth. It was the first I ever heard of it. Needless to say she came in drunk and smelling of piss the day after this event and I promptly told her she needed to go home, sober up and we would discuss her telling me she would take off without any warning. Especially since I asked her up front when she was hired if something would keep her from working on that day. When she came in she was full of anger because I “ruined her buzz”. I said she was done and I wouldn’t and couldn’t have a drunk employee where children would be present. She promptly called me a racist asshole, threw a selection of material from the counter I had brought out showing her her signature saying she could work the day and left. I disliked the holiday afterwards but because it was at the time a Galveston only tradition I banked on help around the island not being there. This becoming a national holiday throws me for a loop. It would be like forcing people to celebrate “San Jacinto Day” that something Texas was forced to NOT celebrate because it would offend people apparently. It should have remained a Galveston or at least just a Texas holiday. Forcing people in other states who don’t even know where Galveston is or even there
IS a Galveston Texas is just weird and creepy and silly to me.

I'm black and I never heard of it until after all the controversy surrounding George Floyd's death. You are so right. I went to my local warehouse club, I was greeted with, "Happy Juneteenth!" I responded with, "Oh okay, thank you..." before entering the automatic doors and being bombarded with "pride" stuff. Thank you for doing your homework, Michael Knowles, so we can know the truth behind the madness.

Regardless, I think that the end of slavery should be a holiday.

[darla]

The federal employees just want a day off every month.

The most important thing is the government is closed another day and cannot do more damage

Michael, we need to just shift the discussion around Juneteenth.

“I enjoy celebrating the Republicans freeing the Democrat’s slaves.” The actual date doesn’t really matter, it’s the context.

[JoGaPeach]

That makes it even more important to go all out on the 4th of July! Get out your Red, White and Blue and represent!!! We’re ALL free!!!

[allenpaul]

As a government employee I support all new BS holidays. If they want to make a June twentyteenth, I’m also in.

[treason]

Let's make July the real pride month, where we all wear red, white, and blue every second of every day, have real family-friendly parades, encourage everyone to make the country a better place, and don't endanger children.

[timothymills]

So as a Cherokee living of a reservation; what is our Independence Day? Heads up to everyone it’s July 4th.❤🇺🇸

[Kymfucius]

Whenever some liberal politician tosses a crumb or two at black ppl, and the majority of black ppl accept and celebrate it, I fall waaay back. That's how I detect the bs is in the air! Juneteenth? Issa a hard pass for me and mine.

[texasminer]

I'm from Texas and Juneteenth was rarely even known about in Texas.. much less outside of Texas. It's a strictly Texas event. And now I see that the northern blacks and liberals have adopted it as if it was their own holiday. Ridiculous!

[christopherlove]

No. It's a celebration of nothing but a way to stir drama.
Thank you for this.
God Bless America and All it's people in Unity. ✨🙏🎖️

[gladesucks]

All this means is my trash pickup schedule got messed up and now I have to wait for them to get back on track

[LuciaAbundant]

As a black person, I can confirm that it is NOT a thing😐Thank you!

[nicoleford]

All I heard is violence violence violence for Juneteenth I think it's nothing but bulshit

[joelspringman]

It's a mockery of everything my country stands for, and all who fought and died for our freedom!
