The future wave of this will be that food branding is racist as it only portrays white folks on packaging.

Future CNN articles:
"POC are losing representation in food branding!!"
"POC disenfranchised from world of product marketing"
"White people over-represented in product marketing"

Yeah, it's funny that that in all my 60+ years on this earth I never heard of Juneteenth until a few days ago. I heard today some idiot politician wants to make it another federal holiday, just what we need another holiday.

But Trump was so intelligent that he specifically chose the date for a rally to antagonize race relations. Then when they changed the date it was because he was so stupid he didn’t know when it was. The man can do it all.

To your point I think honestly a survey of Americans two months ago would show 85% of people would not know what Juneteenth was and 95% would not know what day it was.

If you're in a Republican area probably few to none, if you live in a Democratic sh!thole I'm guessing a whole bunch. I would guess that Chicago will outkill the entire southeast by a factor of 5.

I live near in Atlanta, been here 2 years, never heard or seen anything about Juneteenth. Then again, I'm not wallowing in democrats where I live.

From what little I've heard, Juneteenth was a relatively isolated event, celebrated in the area of Texas where people presumably continued to live in slavery for a couple of years after the CW because nobody bothered to tell them they were free. It's something that caught on with people looking for an alternative, or add-on, to Kawanza, MLK Day, and Emancipation Day. I don't know what people do on Juneteenth, as this is only the second annual celebration of that day in Nashville. I don't think it really kicks off here until later afternoon today. It's about 90 degrees out and humid as a mofo. Hopefully, people who chose to get out will hydrate properly.

I celebrated Juneteenth the same way I celebrated Kawanza, MLK Day and Emancipation Day. I went to work.

I remember in grad school reading The Fires of Jubilee about the Nat Turner Rebellion and the professor talking about Jubilee Day as a holiday in some areas. But then there are different Jubilee celebrations, some of which have nothing to do with African Americans in particular.
Calling it "Juneteenth" was a new one on me as well.

Juneteenth is about as ghetto as you can get when naming a holiday after the emancipation of slaves.
