What does Juneteenth mean to you?

All it means to me is that I'll have to put out my trash tomorrow morning instead of Friday morning.

1. Its a Texas holiday. It celebrates when emancipation finally officially made it here.
2. I get a day off and will be going to the range.

Thanks for reminding me. I wouldn't have looked. Interesting - in the City of LA, it's not a collection Holiday.

Just another token of division. Fomented by the left. After 163 years, we shouldn't even be talking about race, but the grifters are still profiting from it.

Supposedly you're supposed to eat red foods if you're celebrating Juneteenth. This includes lots of watermelon, according to AI.

"Watermelon holds deep cultural significance in Juneteenth celebrations, rooted in the history of African American freedom and resilience. Juneteenth was sparked by barbecue, watermelon, and red drinks, marking the June 19, 1865 emancipation announcement in Texas, and watermelon became a centerpiece of these gatherings as both food and symbol."

That's cool but why did they pick such a lame name?

Means it is just about time to pull those steaks out of the freezer and to get the Bar-B-Q pit all cleaned up and ready for the 4th.

I actually don't mind it. June needed a holiday and it matters little to me what it is.

But yea, the name is pretty stupid.

You guys realize that Juneteenth was made a Federal Holiday to honor George Floyd, right? Maybe they should rename it GeorgeTeenth.

 

[rosends]

I think that the freedom of any people from institutionalized slavery should be celebrated, at least by those people. But others might want to celebrate freedom for all by recognizing the importance of freedom for some.

Another lie. Early Juneteenth celebrations date back to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas.

And that was just fine.....They stayed in their own lane.

Now I have to put my trash out in the morning because of St. Floyd Day.

I suppose if you were Jewish, you could call it "Jewteenth."

Don't do that! The dems will think it's Jewsteeth, there's gold in them, and they will be chasing the Jews about with pliers.

Derek Chauvin shouldn’t have killed him.

LOL! That's just part of his cosplay schtick. Zincwarrior is in France, so all he's going to do is make a little finger gun and say "pew pew" into the mirror.
