Juneteenth is our new national holiday. Won't state and federal employees be elated to get another three day weekend (paid) each year while regular working people will get taxed more to pay for it? What does that make now, eleven or twelve three day weekends per year?

Apparently, slavery was a pretty big deal in this country at some point.

Like 160 years ago... there’s nobody in this country that was a slave or owned slaves. The woke ones need to concentrate on Africa where blacks still enslave over 600,000 people.

It’s a mockery of the way a stereotypical, uneducated, black American is known to speak. Specifically in the “souph.” That’s what makes it so comical.

Congress Passes Law To Recognize Juneteenth, The Day Republicans Freed All The Democrats' Slaves June 16th, 2021 - BabylonBee.com WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday, commemorating the glorious day Republicans freed the last of the Democrats' slaves. "We are so proud to show the world how not racist we are by officially recognizing the day the Republicans came charging in to free all our slaves," said Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer. "Yeah-- we Democrats did a little 'whoopsie' with that whole slavery thing, but the Republicans corrected it. Thanks, Republicans!" During this year's Juneteenth, the nation will gather to celebrate the American political party that was founded on protecting human rights of people of all skin colors. Democrats around the country will write letters of apology and organize celebrations for the vast network of Christians, Catholics, Quakers, and Republicans who fought and died to end the scourge of slavery in America. Congress has also approved the building of a giant elephant statue in D.C. to honor the party responsible for the freeing of slaves from Democrat plantations. Biden has confirmed he will organize a celebration at the White House after he lays a wreath on the grave of his best friend Robert Byrd. https://babylonbee.com/news/congres...publicans-freed-all-the-democrats-slaves

I grew up realizing juneteenth was a holiday of sorts for black folks, but the reason I was given is much different from what is being said today.
It had to do with cotton farming. Everyone did there best to have the cotton 'laid by' before the middle of June. The field hands were given a day to celebrate this occasion, thus juneteenth. This meant that the hard field work (planting, chopping, hoeing, and laying by of the cotton) was done and things would calm down, go at a slower pace during the hot summer weather, until it got to picking time.
Funny thing is that many people think that June 19 is the official day that slaves were freed. Nope, the second 13th amendment went into effect on Dec 6, 1865.

How about this as a way to celebrate Juneteenth: dress up in blackface and loot all the Nike stores in your area?
