A day to not work and be lazy?

You talking about @BrownArmy?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Is there some meaning to the word "Juneteenth"?
I find myself thinking that grown adults can't pronounce "June Nineteenth"?

It’s a Black thing … you wouldn’t understand!

Did even one person from the media ask Biden if there is a limit on how many paid days off we give Federal employees?

That included sick and vacation days. And just the average. Some get a lot more including those days.

A lot of kids could go to private schools and actually learn for $818 million!

Nope, like MLK Day, go to work.

How white supremacist of you

 

[bottomups]

How white supremacist of you

Nope. There will be a few black guys on the field. Just there in solidarity with them.

 

[The big package]

I don’t care if you hate Biden or Black people. Are we getting holiday pay working tomorrow?

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day !!!

 

[The big package]

Oh I’ll be there. Just wanna know if the checks going to be fatter.

That's the second funniest thing I've heard all day !!!

 

[The big package]

11 what?

11 months of paid holidays and 4 weeks vacation !!!

 

[Wally]

11 months of paid holidays and 4 weeks vacation !!!

They also get paid time off in bad weather and government shutdowns!

So why not make the holiday on a Sunday? Those inclined to observe can have special services. Already they moved the day to a Friday to weasel a day off so the day itself has no true importance.

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.

You republicans sure like to take credit for freeing the slaves but you surely don’t seem very proud of it.
