That's my son's birthday. Aside from that, what's the meaning of June 19th?

It’s actually a Texas deal. When General Granger landed at Galveston and issued he general order stating the slaves in Texas were free. Thats the cliff note version. June 19, 1865

Freeing slaves is actually a pretty momentous occasion in our nation's history.

To make it a national holiday makes sense to me.

Agreed.

But isn’t that just keeping the memory of slavery alive? I thought we were trying to erase the stigma of that awful event - hence getting rid of Confederate statues. Can’t wait for all the MLK street signs to come down.

If we are to celebrate the elimination of slavery, how about making a holiday out of the day the Emancipation Proclamation took effect - January 1st. Nobody's using that, so why not?

Because while the EP made the civil war into a war about slavery, it did not actually free a single slave.

Stupid fuggin governor announced today it's gonna be a paid state holiday in Virginia. Some stupid rapper was standing with him at the conference. Guy dresses up in blackface with a klansman and gets by with it. Fuggin hypocrite rapper standing there like he was next to MLK. If it was a Republican they'd have ran him out on a rail.

Wish that [bleep] would get lead poisoning.

Trump should issue an executive order making it a national holiday.

Would be worth it for the reaction from the left.

I seriously wonder what all the other minorities think....there's 3x more Hispanics in our area, none are screaming for Cinco de Mayo to be a paid state holiday.

None are getting special treatment, just working hard every day and raising their families, most with a father in the home. I'm sick and [bleep] tired of the national pity party and the pandering.

Seems like it might be more logical and supportive to wait until the percentage of blacks killed by blacks drops from the 90%+ range down to something much lower - maybe 50% or so - and then declare a black lives matter day.

No one gives a [bleep] about black lives, which is clearly evident by the zero attention being brought by the black community or white liberal snowflakes to the real threat. Black on black violence. If you're dying of a bullet wound you don't go to the Dr. About a tooth ache. Get [bleep] real. I absolutely despise cry babies making excuses for their problems. Take some responsibility and pull yourself up by your bootstraps or [bleep] off.

Let's make Juneteenth a holiday. And every White person in America, has to go out on the street, find a Negro, and kneel down, and give the Negro a Hundred Dollar Bill.
That will assuage our White Guilt, about our White Priveledge.
