Juneteenth is now a federal holiday !!!

[Box Ox]

Oh so now standing up for Black Lives Matter makes you some sort of BLMer like it’s a bad thing whitey. I’ll have you know black lives do matter you ignorant racist.

I’m not sure how being OK with Juneteenth as a holiday is supporting Black Lives Matter.

Why should Juneteenth be a national holiday?

What is it?

 

[over9five]

What is it?

African American holiday, like MLK Day.

Juneteenth seems to sufficiently cover all of the above.

It celebrates an obscure Texas event hardly anyone has heard of or something.

Really silly stuff.

Trump claims he made Juneteenth 'famous,' in defiant interview: 'Nobody had ever heard of it'

June 18, 2020

"President Trump in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Thursday defended his response to the coronavirus pandemic and the protests against racism -- while claiming he “made Juneteenth very famous” by initially scheduling a campaign rally on that day.

“I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” Trump said in the interview. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”

Never heard of it? Nobody has.

Why not celebrate it on on Sunday so no one gets time off for no reason.

Why ??? Because the government just voted to give themselves another paid day off !!! Why not a national holiday so we can all have off , maybe 9-11 !!!

Move MLK Day to Sunday too.

e.g., Every Republican US Senator.

If you think this had anything to do with historic appreciation to them and not just another day to get paid for doing nothing you're kidding yourself.

Yikes

Crotch-scented underwear is more useful than a government bureaucrat.

Darn Republican Senators! Always looking to give themselves more paid federal holidays without even appreciating them!

Maybe our über woketard leader MawMaw Tomé will give us that day off to make up for the day after Thanksgiving.

In your dreams. After next contract you are going to be lucky if you get to keep 2 days off for New Years.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Juneteenth is now a federal holiday . …it's just another day off for federal workers as if like they need another paid day off !!!

Sounds good to me. Wouldn't mind Columbus Day getting the axe if paid days off for federal workers is a concern.

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Why should Juneteenth be a national holiday?

Why should MLK Day be a Federal holiday?
I guess for the same reason.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

We also celebrate Sickle Cell Anemia that day

Wait a minute!! Why the duck are the White people off work???

Reparation for freeing Blacks.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Yikes

What moniker would you ascribe to Senators?

 

[wilberforce15]

Knowing UPS, I'll probably be off for Juneteenth but still work Memorial and Labor Day

Just tell them that you're identifying as black!!! They'll be scared less and not only give you the day off, but maybe there will be some cake or luncheon served in the honor of freeing blacks.
