Juneteenth is on it's way to becoming a Federal Holiday

[PortCityProphet]

Im against making this a federal holiday.
1. Why tf should 200 million white folks get BLACK independence day off? fukk that.
2. Juneteenth will be completely b*stardized in 2 years. It'll be the mid summer Cinco de Mayo or St. Patrick Day where all it is is another reason for folks to get drunk at the beach, bars to have specials, bullshyt parties, and I guarantee a black boxer is gonna fight on that weekend every year now. And you know a restaurant somewhere someplace gon have a fried chicken and watermelon special that day.
3. And last thing they gon turn it into a bullshyt "day of service" like MLK day. "Let's Go out and paint the neighborhood, feed the homeless. Give back to the community." Nah fukk that too. They always trying to make Black folk do the most and can't even just chill. I never seen no damn day of service for 4th of July
4. Watch there be a march or something too. Like damn we gotta March on our holiday too?
This does nothing for black folk big picture. Aint bout to be about education, reminisce and memorializing, none of that happening. Just another day off for folks to turn up.

People been talking about Juneteenth for years trying to get to this point and people are still mad. People mad going off talking about “you celebrate the 4th and Cinco De Mayo but don’t care about Juneteenth” and all that. How about take this as a good thing and continue to fight for other shyt?

This.

These fake black militants been asking for this to be a federal holiday for years and now that it's happening they're crying and bytching.

This is great, but it's also another way for politicians to say, "Look, see we aren't racist " and avoid giving out tangibles.

Empty, benign gesture. I was cool when it was just us celebrating low-key and doing our cookouts. I don't need to see the Old Navy Juneteenth blowout t-shirt sale every year. Esp. when our folks in Tulsa still ain't been paid. FOH with this "we taking Aint Jemima off the syrup bottle" shyt

 

[King Poetic]

Has to be on a Saturday this year when I’m already off

 

[Tom Foolery]

Holdup.. A GOP Senator sponsored this bill

What kinda twilight zone shyt is this

Your Voting Rights in exchange for a National Holiday everyone gets to enjoy.

Fair deal right?

[Boolean]

those fukkbois can try all they want, but dem red states gonna continue to get purple.

Still don't see how we can't get some form of reparations

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

How many of y’all still gonna go all out on 4th of July with the Frankie Beverly and cookouts?

 

[Pazzy]

Symbolic gestures arent tangibles. fukk a holiday. Give whats owed. REPARATIONS.

I don't expect the Senate to make it a holiday...but I appreciate Donald Trump for making Juneteenth a prominent day in America

It's already passed. Waiting for Biden's signature.
