Actually, that's not correct.

I currently live in ultra liberal New England. Last year I asked my black friends if they were going to celebrate Juneteenth. Not a single one of them knew what I was talking about.

But when I lived in the south (Texas) both blacks and whites were aware of the holiday and participated in Juneteenth picnics and BBQ's. ..

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I went to public school with kids from pretty much every ethnicity/race. I never heard of "Juneteenth". I don't recall ever hearing anything regarding Juneteenth on TV (parades, celebrations, etc.). Obviously it's a real thing (Google wouldn't lie), but why is there nothing about it in the obvious places?

because just like Dave Chapelle said "Look at the money & its like looking at slave master trading cards"

Could dottie be any more irrelevant?

 

[Dot Com]

irrelevant enough for you to take time out of your exercycle-time to post in my thread

 

[koshergrl]

Sadly, this is probably the most exciting thread going @ usmb.

Which is the reason it's dying.

bandwidth-sucking, deadbeats, w/ 2 whole friends on the board (such as yourself ) don't help matters

Juneteenth originally started in Texas and was declared a state holiday in 1980.

43 other states have it on the books as either a state celebration or special recognition day. ..

Strange how nobody has ever heard of this holiday when it was being discussed 7 years ago on this very board.
