We have a lot of "arbritrary dates" for our holidays - what matters is the collective meaning it has for the people.Apparently the latest proclamation by the Woke mob is to make "Juneteenth" the most important holiday in America. There are a couple problems with this. First of all, the event that truly mattered was 1/1/1863 when President Lincoln called an end to slavery. Years later Federal troops forced Texans to comply with the Emancipation Proclamation BUT that did not end slavery either! There were many Blacks still enslaved past "Juneteenth" and it took years before the last slave was truly free or working as a paid employee of someone (and some of the slave owners were Black!).
So the stupidly named "Juneteenth" is an arbitrary date in time that does NOT mark the true end of slavery. But facts don't seem to matter anymore so whoopee let's have yet another paid holiday to satisfy the Woke mob.

The Emancipation Proclamation was a fucking farce. It only "freed" slaves in the South. There were half a million slaves in the North who were still enslaved. The Proclamation did nothing to help them at all.
Lincoln issued the Proclamation as a cynical move to try and disrupt the Southern economy. That is why the Dims do not want it celebrated. It was a joke.
Michael Knowles made the point that the left wanted the "Juneteenth" holiday rather than, for example, Emancipation Proclamation Day or December 6th (the day the 13th Amendment became part of the Constitution) is because a holiday for either of those days would have to involve showing gratitude to others, rather than nursing and exacerbating a sense of grievance.
You're disgusting but this no surprise. Keep your anal fetish to yourself please.It is a "holiday" now because the pathetic weak White Guilt pukes just can't seem to get enough of sticking their tongues up Negro ass.

It was already a Texas state holiday - since 1980. All but 3 states already commerate it as either a state holiday or day of special observance. Why the uproar now?
I had no idea celebrating another holiday could be so upsetting to you or that there is somehow, a racial tally of holidays you are keeping.You're disgusting but this no surprise.

So why the fuck is now a national holiday? Why should somebody in Florida or Nebraska celebrate something that happen in Galveston?
Who is so sick as to kiss Negro ass that much?
The goddamn Negros already have their Martin Luther Negro Day and a whole month where the demented shitheads fall all over themselves kissing Negro ass.
If we need to honor anything is all the many victims of Negro crime? How about a a day of remembrance for all the Black and Whites that have been murdered by Negros?

Why is Independence Day July 4th, when it actually only meant independence for a portion of those residing in America at the time and excluded slaves, native Americans, and women for example.
(and no, I'm not advocating doing away with the 4th)
Who decides what is meaningful enough for a holiday and why?

That's an interesting statement.
Gratitude...for something that should never have happened in the first place? Not sure how a person would feel about that, being told that this should be the date you celebrate rather than having the freedom to choose which emancipating event was most important to you and your people.
Yes, I remember former Republican governor Scott Walker famously being part of the woke mob.Pointing out the latest stupid proclamation from the Woke Mob running our country is not being "triggered".Wow, you wingnuts are so triggered over this.
What does “leftism” have to do with recognizing a non ideological holiday? So far, you don’t come up with a good rational for other than “I hate anything that recognizes the history of African Americans in our culture”.Apparently the latest proclamation by the Woke mob is to make "Juneteenth" the most important holiday in America.

Thanks for proving Mr. Knowles' point so adequately, that all leftists want is to continue whining and sniveling and feeling victimized in perpetuity. We should never, ever feel grateful to people for righting wrongs and trying to make things better, because it's much more fun to feel aggrieved for all eternity that the world wasn't our perfect ideal right from the start.
WhiLe I personally love July 4th....what should it mean to two significant populations in our country: indiginous peoples and African Americans?

Leaving aside your reason-free, PMSing leftist screed of "How can it have been Independence Day if it wasn't my perfect vision of what the world should be exactly like?!" Independence Day is July 4th because that's the day that the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted. Sort of an important, celebration-worthy day to people who love their country, rather than just sucking off of it while whining about how it sucks so much compared to all of the countries you aren't moving to.
In actual fact, Ms. "I'm too busy knowing what I decided to know to actually go find out the facts", none of our holidays are "arbitrary dates". They were all chosen for very concrete reasons, which you could try Googling.

For African Americans, isn’t Juneteenth a date closer to actual independence in this country than July 4, 1776 ever was?
