So, big article in today's paper about it. There were probably five black peeps here in the state of Utah in 1865 but we're gonna have a big celebration and raise the Juneteenth flag at the Salt Lake City/County building. So, this begs the question. What are you doing to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth? As a corollary, why the hell can't they say just use proper engrish and say June 19th?

Me? I'll be working as usual - probably supporting a few of those celebrating 'junteenth'.


Dumb cnut SLC mayor on Left for reference.

Is that Whoopi at the podium?

Dont be a racialista. Go join in, make friends, live it up, party, have fun, like this guy below. Just remember, dont say , "Oh boy", just say "Bro".

I just saw a sign on the door at the bank. Closed for "Juneteenth".... a federal holiday.


Of course, the bank will take ANY opportunity to close....Bastille Day, Breast cancer awareness day, National Potato Appreciation Day, Henry Fonda's Birthday, etc.

Any Skittles?

I have Monday off as a banker; I’ll do some smallmouth fishing in the morning and smoke a pork loin or a couple chickens?

Ya gotta love the fact it falls over Father’s Day weekend, our ultimate celebration of the patriarchy!!

How many "holidays" do the Negroes get? MLK day, Juneteenth, and here they celebrate Emancipation Day, Aug. 8.

Thanks! Until this thread I never knew what actual day “Juneteenth” fell on.

Emancipation Day, eh? At least they thank the Republicans for what they did.

I have 1/2 a seedless watermelon in the fridge chilling.

My mother hated blacks, ironic she died on Juneteenth

Juneteenth?

Calling on Kaywoodie to post his Watermelon and KFC photo! 🤠

Rob a Rite-Aid of course!

Causing a Watermelon and fried chicken shortage

I had never heard of this "holiday" until covid.

Now all banks, universities, government functions are shut down for it.

Isn't this made up?

Sort of like Kwanzaa, you mean?

Its also PTSD month at the VA, can’t buy a Bible in the BX but a wall full of unnatural sexual chit

I guess people can celebrate whatever they want to , but it doesn’t concern me at all.

You are part of the problem Punk.

Stand for something

Ben Lurkin: The opening sentence in your posting makes ME proud that I have NEVER, EVER, NOT EVEN ONCE paid for a newspaper - and I am 74 years old.
I draw the line, and always have, at degrading myself by buying a "newspaper"!
It is bad enough watching television but the money spent on a newspaper in the United States of America anymore is just directly perpetuating liberalism/socialism/communism.
Sad that.
Hold into the wind

Yeah it’s made up but few working people complain about a paid holiday.

Stophel: Bottom line is YOU need to be more careful who YOU vote into federal offices!
Federales brought this meaningful bit of bullschidt into being and YOU (we!) are responsible for "juneteenth.
Sad.
Hold into the wind

That’s the one! Thanks Hanco !!!

I was 16 before I figured out I wasn't actually related to half the blacks in my hometown! 😳
They were a part of daily life in east Texas back in the 50's and 60's.
They were celebrating "Juneteenth" before "Juneteenth" was a Nat'l holiday.

There are no working people that get a paid holiday next Monday.

Yup! That’s me

I do love chiggum,,,,,, and watermelon!

The Chinese and Russians will deal with them soon.

I'll admit that the guy's got a lot more guts than I have to get in any one of those. You can't say he's reinventing the wheel. No wheel ever looked that bad.

Don't you have to work in order to get the day off?

I hear in Texas its a big thing for the groids to go pickup chain dragging.

They gave them those days in lieu of Labor Day, and Father’s Day.

Burn de walgranes nicca!!!

You fergot wallermelon day.

LMAO ! Good one !

The fruit loops claim they are a minority the same as blacks.
I wonder if there will be any Harvey Milk vs George Floyd riots over who will get their parades on main street USA?

June 19th should be celebrated by ALL Americans, and I wish the day was Nationalized earlier... I plan to have a BBQ, as it has now become a pre-Independence Day National Holiday...

June 19th, 1953 is when the (((rosenbergs))) were executed for selling nuclear secrets to the (((soviets))).

Third Saturday in October. That’s when the new Cadillacs come out.

Honestly, I have no issues with Juneteenth. It’s a Texas holiday. More so than Cinco de Mayo. It HAPPENED HERE. To remove Juneteenth to me would be tantamount to removing Bobby Lee’s statue. I have been to picnics with my neighbors who are closer to me than many white folks. If you cannot understand my rhetoric then GFY. I sincerely don’t give a phuque.

So there!

It was probably the last time this type of true justice would be carried out.

Deys haves de hol munth ov febury

I'd be all for celebrating on the anniversary of Floyds self inflicted demise. But I doubt the woke folk would see the honor.

Maybe a holiday for when the famous rappers ended their illustrious careers by getting tangled in bad drug deals or overdoses.

Or since it's rainbow butt month, play some Queen, and celebrate that AIDS saved the world from music that really sucked.

Lots to celebrate

August 8th, Emancipation Day, has always been celebrated here, although not so much now as it once was. The local Black Baptist church was located on one side of our farm, and they'd start cooking BBQ on the night of the 7th. Blacks would come and go all day on the 8th, eating, drinking, and gambling. Some White folks would always get invited to sample the BBQ. The older Blacks were really into celebrating Emancipation Day, not so much the younger ones. When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's, most Blacks were Republicans because it was the party of Lincoln, who freed the slaves. Funny how times have changed.

They will have a Floyd holiday next!

That is [bleep] funny!!

I think I'll fry some chicken, cool a watermelon, and make a big batch of Purple Drank, go see my dealer for some smoke and rock.

Maybe go rob a liquor store, conceive an illegitimate child or burn something down, or even shoot a few people.

What da hell...I don't have to work that day...or any other!

New senior adviser to Biden added at the Whitehouse just in time for Juneteenth.

Keisha Lance Bottoms

Old Toot’s better half

I don't even know what the hell "juneteenth" even is. Is it wrong that I don't really even want to know?

It's the urban version of Yellowstone buffs vs tourons, only it's just a black-on-black body count.

mmmm..... wawta melm

"What are you doing to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth?"

Will be starting off with a couple cups of coffee, followed by usual morning constitutional. Looking forward to it and praying all comes out well.

Isn't it oil a hemp rope day? Asking for friends

Not a holiday....

Q: What is "mass confusion"?
A: Fathers Day in the 'hood!

Same.

Not me.

I have never broken bread with a black person.


Just never had the opportunity.

All free, compliments of you and me.

I like going to the grocery and watching the wome..., uh females with their passel of rug rats struggling with their calculators with frowns of concern and worry marking their faces while trying to figure out if they loaded up a few hundred more in steaks and shrimp and frosted flakes and OJ than what their $700 in food stamps will pay for.

Didn’t say I support it… so Fugg off cockbite

you guys do realize it's all white peoples fault ....... you went along with it.... allowing a small fraction of the population to rule over you .... squelching your free speech via illegalizing a fkn word used for centuries

same as just what happened with the phaggs & misc perverts to run all over your free speech


C'mon 'Merica ...... do something

Splatter is better

For those who are not aware as to the origins of "Juneteenth": on 19 June 1865, U.S. General Gordon Granger arrived by a U.S. Navy ship and docked at Galveston, Texas. In front of the Customs House, he read an order declaring that with the surrender of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department by Confederate General Edmund Kirby-Smith on 26 May 1865, that the war was officially over and Texas was officially in control by U.S. military forces and therefore the Emancipation Proclamation was now in effect. All former slaves were now free. What is seldom mentioned is included in this speech is instructions that all former slaves need to find employment to support themselves. Hence, since this happened on the 19th of June, the then former slaves in Texas started celebrating 19 June as their emancipation day, which in slang became known as "Juneteenth". As a matter of note: Slavery was still legal and practiced in the states of Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland where it was not abolished until ratification of the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in January(?) 1866.

It’s all Whiteys fault

Only the “never heard of Foghat” dumbfukks on here would be the ones not aware of the origins of Coonteenth.
Those and yankees and few other 10x10 shed dwelling miserable foucks.

Been hearing people yapp about this since I was 5 years old. Then again, I lived in Savannah Ga as a kid. Only white kid in 3rd grade. Makes me tough though.

Down here if you have a lot of blacks employed, you gonna be by yourself on coonteenth if it falls during the week.

Suc La’Blur ..

I’ll trade you a Draco for a .275 Rigby?

Hahaha!

I was just checking the weather on my phone.


Scrolling through the 7 day on weather.gov.


Yep....Juneteenth was listed. At first I was ....wtf is that?


Then Uncle Slum's scolding about Foghat came ringing back......

Wiff peach Riunite wine, watermelon, chitlins, BBQ ribs and watvhin ;

I would run the other way.

Lot of focus on takeoff. Very little attention paid to landing protocols. They should be thankful for unanswered prayers. 😳

She was celebrating coonteenth

As many as they want....

If it looks like Obama be sure and pinch its head off before you flush.

Got to drive over to Hempstead, get some watermelon

Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh

Not enough gross tonnage...

Need a reenactment , white guy on a horse with whip , blacks in chains working a cotton patch ..

This is hilarious.
