The Juneteenth Holiday- a bit too far?

[rightwinger]

Got it. You think the 4th of July is a racist holiday.

Define all men are created equal

Rather self explanatory.

Rather self explanatory.

Evidently only applied to white men

Yup, it took us a little while to realize that goal.

Why MLK Day is so necessary

They are still out there

Do you have something against the man's legacy?

The 4th of July is a lie too.

September 3, 1783 was the end of the Revolutionary War. Had the colonies lost, there would have been no independence for property owning white males.

You do.

The black people already have MLK's Birthday as a legal holiday, and now they are getting a 2nd.

But there are plenty of other ethnicities that don't have a single Legallly represented holiday. And some ethnically based holidays like the Italian people's Columbus Day are in danger of being abolished by Libtards.

Are 2 holidays too many for everyone to be black on? I'll be doing my best to celebrate Monday's festivities and eat some fried chicken and drink some malt liquor, maybe even wear my trousers in the sagging fashion.

But it it too much, as we already did that in January?

The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth

Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Get rid of Kwanzaa.

Oh wait, no one celebrates Kwanzaa anyway. Thank God.

You don't get to decide these things.

You do.

Of course. I would never find anything in alcoholism or adultery to celebrate. Especially by a reverend.

American Blacks have decided. Which is why I completely ignore it in my classroom. Wholly inauthentic.

In 2006, a poll from the National Retail Federation found that only 2.3 percent of African-Americans celebrated Kwanzaa. That number has slipped in recent years. In fact it’s estimated that only 500,000 out of America’s 40 million blacks currently celebrate the holiday. That’s a measly 1.25 percent of America’s black population.

“You still have people who actually celebrate it,” Kwanzaa expert Keith Mayes told The Philadelphia Inquirer two years ago. “You have third generations of Kwanzaa celebrants… but Kwanzaa no longer has its movement which brought it forth, which is the black power movement. That movement has waned.”

Despite the warmth of the ongoing embrace it continues to receive from an overly accommodative, politically correct American society - Kwanzaa (a.k.a. the
