I never heard of this “holiday” before two days ago when my phone hit me with a notification.
I had to just google what this was about. 35 years and can honestly say I’ve never heard of this (maybe the result of a FL public education) or I just lumped it in with every other holiday that I ignore because it doesn’t involve me visiting family or sending a card.Hey, I'm all for people getting a day off. I don't know WTF holiday it is 90% of the time anyways.
eta from the article:
Just as the turkey has become synonymous with Thanksgiving, barbecue takes center stage in traditional Emancipation Day festivities. In early celebrations, men dug large pits and roasted pork, beef or lamb on a spit overnight. While the pit may not be present at today's Juneteenth parties, barbecue such as pulled pork, chicken, ribs and hot links remains a favorite.
So basically, its like every Saturday?
I'd seem this one has been around for a while:I didnt even know WTF it was until like this week. I see Kwanzaa has a new cousin.
The hilarious thing is I saw some official description of it being the oldest celebrated tradition/holiday in the US. So, uh, like we didn't have Easter or Christmas before that or something?
I too had never heard of this day until a few days ago.
The corporate offices of the dealership I work for are all closed today....probably paid too.Get ready for it, because they're going to push to make it an official federal holiday and the cuck companies out there will start having juneteenth celebration sales and commercials and shit.
That in turn will upset black people because they're not restricting the sales to only black people.
The irony of this whole thing is going to be hilarious.
I lived in Texas for a few years... never heard of it. Just 20 miles North of Galveston. Never heard of it.I didnt even know WTF it was until like this week. I see Kwanzaa has a new cousin.

Well damn. I was hoping you'd come along to share some of those old VT Juneteenth recipes with us.I lived in Texas for a few years... never heard of it. Just 20 miles North of Galveston. Never heard of it.
About a decade ago I came across the Tulsa, Oklahoma massacre in which some 300 African Americans were killed.
But it's been a stealth event until... well... DJT tried to schedule a rally in Tulsa on that date. Then, suddenly, it's more important than Independence Day.
Again... People using history for their own ends... while trying to erase it.
Tulsa was a tragedy. June 19th was a great day when Republicans freed slaves in Texas. It should be revered. A national holiday? Well... not my place to say. I'd rather see D-Day, the most important day in the 20th Century. But I don't get to make these choices. Really, we could take the whole year off if we pandered to enough folks. So I err on selective.
Anyhoo... the Juneteenth BS is just another made up date to pander to the communists. When we getting Mayday off, anyway?

Aunt Jemima on Uncle Bens, all spread over Polk Salad, topped with short ribs and served with Okra. Dessert is... I'll leave that up to you. But it's big and green and seedy.Well damn. I was hoping you'd come along to share some of those old VT Juneteenth recipes with us.
Trump should have kept the rally date and started calling it the Make Juneteenth Great Again Rally. Heads would literally explode on live tv.
Soak in vinegar first. Then slice, batter, and fry. Or pickle. Neither are mucus-y. The okra, not the retard...Aunt Jemima on Uncle Bens, all spread over Polk Salad, topped with short ribs and served with Okra. Dessert is... I'll leave that up to you. But it's big and green and seedy.
BTW, I hate okra. If I wanted a vegetable that produced its own mucus, I'd suck off a retard.

Axe me about Ebonics....So I’m going to be a racist and ask the question, because my google search of the first 5 options came up short: Why is it called “Juneteenth?” I get the significance, I don’t agree with it being a bigger deal than the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, but to each their own.
Juneteenth!?! Julyth? Januaryst?
The NIH begs to differ....The okra, not the retard...
Went to US Bank, today and it was closed for juneteenth. I only use them to transfer funds to other places, so I'll see if any banks haven't gone woke.Get ready for it, because they're going to push to make it an official federal holiday and the cuck companies out there will start having juneteenth celebration sales and commercials and shit.
That in turn will upset black people because they're not restricting the sales to only black people.

They'll have to pick up the cases inolving racist looking at people and moving to the other side of the street when the crowd is looting on the side your on.Exactly! What are all the criminal defense attorneys going to do if LE stops making as many arrests. More cases = more clients.
How many days will the give me off for this one?
Ask the Greaseman...How many days will the give me off for this one?
Remember, the communists get rid of religion; for only your creator can give you those rights listed in our Bill of Rights. You shall worship the hammer and cycle because they will bring you food and goods.I didnt even know WTF it was until like this week. I see Kwanzaa has a new cousin.

Exactly. And if you can’t get him to see the light, refer him to the old lady in the movie “Airplane”.Axe me about Ebonics....

"Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.OK, so I just heard some complete retardation on the tv. Juneteenth bullshit. Dumb bitch said it was the day in '65 that slaves in Galveston were told by union soldiers that slavery had ended. Said it took two years for the news to reach them because some areas of the South were slow to implement. LOL Hahahahahaha. This was said on the 'news'.
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer.""
I'm about as unfiltered as they come, but you really got me with that oneAunt Jemima on Uncle Bens, all spread over Polk Salad, topped with short ribs and served with Okra. Dessert is... I'll leave that up to you. But it's big and green and seedy.

Duh. The day of five mayos. Personally I think five tubs of mayo are too much for any one house, but this is an American holiday so you have the freedom to buy as much mayo as you want.I bet you all know what cinco de mayo is though![]()
In that case, I am in like Flynn!!!!!Stopped for fuel yesterday and to hit the head. Grabbing a drink on the way out, I overheard a group of celebrants discussing Juneteenth. Judging by their purchases the traditional foods are Twinkies, gas station hot dogs and pork rinds.
