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

[Starburst]

So what exactly does this do? Is this the tangibles we're getting?

In my opinion, folk should be asking this instead of getting excited about having a day off work.

It appears as though the aim is to appease black folk with crumbs to prevent us from asking about the bigger tangibles we were promised during the election race.

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

I'm not complaining about it. I'm also not accepting this as progress.

This is a good thing. Making Juneteenth a federal holiday acknowledges slavery. This helps in the fight for reparations.

Do I get a paid day off

I asked my boss this today. she looked at me like

Only Texas nikkas should have it as a holiday but eh

We spreading the love to all you non-TX brehs.

Took PTO every year for this shyt. Lot of my coworkers are white from up north so they barely have any clue what Juneteenth is.

Family used to celebrate Juneteenth more than 4th of July.

Of course black folks contributed heavy in the Revolutionary War so we gotta celebrate that too.

Now he can put that on his record. Not racist, just made Juneteenth a federal holiday.


What more could you need?

Cornyn just go re-elected so I have no idea why he'd push this.

Probably because TX just voted against teaching Critical Race Theory. Republicans here know that TX is slowly moving towards battleground state status and the smart cacs are getting ready.

i dont see how any of us are viewing it any other way. its americans that think slavery was 1000 years ago

Could you imagine Jew acting this way to a Holocaust liberation holiday nikkas why we dont have shyt. Cuz yall eternally miserable and cant recognize a W for a W.

Some of yall demand reparations but in order to receive reparations, the paying party has to admit something was done wrong. Its 2021 and many Americans still wont admit slavery was wrong let alone agree that the US should make amends for the damage done. They put more energy into celebrating Slave owners than liberation in the "Land of Liberty".

 

[agpxknt]

Dont give af. Where are the reparations and tangibles for the community? All this symbolic shyt means nothing without actual change.
