Let me get this straight.

Celebrating the final domino to fall in America's race-based slave trade and work is part of a systematic examination of problems in their dynamic relation to others with the intent of understanding them through the lenses of historical, social, economic, and political realities?

I have zero problem with Juneteenth being a national holiday. It's basically another Independence Day, only for black Americans. I think it fitting for it to be a national holiday. I do believe that it being made a holiday now is about political pandering, which is a shame, but it is worthy of recognition.

I see one positive outcome from this. There won’t be a shortage of chicken wings, ribs etc on July 4.

The holiday in and of itself is insignificant; the political pandering for political support is a national shame.

I tried to stay out of this but just stop it. This is offensive and you are a coward racist.

The United States deciding to stop enslaving people is insignificant? What else do you view as insignificant? Moon landing?

I said the HOLIDAY itself was insignificant - there is a difference. There are scores of other dates worthy of holidays if you wanted to get into it; we've got enough official ones. At this rate it won't be long before we add Cinco de Mayo if it would by dems more votes.

We read it, understood it, and you are still ignorant and wrong.
This is without considering the racist source that is you btw.

Lol. Yea the day, we as a country, decided slaves are bad isn't celebratory. Compared to Labor Day? People showing up to work. GTFO. We should be proud we pulled our head out of our ass.

Have you looked at our official ones? How many would you say are more significant then the ending of our enslavement of people?

I agree 1000% that Juneteenth is worthy of being a holiday, but I also think you're intelligent enough to realize that the reason it's being made a holiday NOW is political pandering. I think that's the part that has some upset. It should have been made a holiday long ago.

If you believe it should be a holiday, and now it's recognized, then people need to STFU. My wife's company made it holiday last year. If it deserves recognition then it deserves it. Regardless of your feelings.

Wondering how celebrating the end of slavery is viewed as political? Seems like we as a people shouldn’t be upset about this but instead happy! Would love to understand how people don’t see this as a good thing.

Why do you think it was done now? Because people who have been in office for years just suddenly realized out of the goodness of their hearts it was the right thing to do? They're pandering to POC, trying to shore up their votes for midterms. It's pandering. Most of these people, from both parties, have been in office for a good deal of time, yet are just now thinking this is a good thing to do. It's the right thing to do. Absolutely. That doesn't mean it's being done for the right reasons. Don't be a sheep to either party. See their motivation for what it is.

Honestly, I see it as progression of our nation to move forward in a positive direction. If we don’t progress forward then what are we doing?? I don’t see it politically. I see it as a move forward. Not a sheep, just a person who desires equality. It’s just a step forward.
