#1 Happy June 19th America.

As far as I am concern the J19 holiday is Woke Joke.

Martin Luther King Jr. is the real reason the DEMOCRATS were forced to "openly" halt their Anti-Black racist agenda. Not some collection of WHITE Generals seeking laborers to move and haul supplies.

So we have 1 real Black Holiday (MLK Day) and a Woke Joke made by the LSD's for a political agenda song to rake in votes.

#4 Wow. The violence from Chicago is spreading. Willowbrook is not that far from Downers Grove and Naperville (where we used to live), which are (or used to be) QUITE nice suburbs.

#5 The take-over of the strip mall parking lot is surrounded on 3 sides by section 8 type apartments. Another non-sanctioned and not payed for wilding event. Go figure.

#7 Deriving its name from combining June and nineteenth, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order by Major General Gordon Granger proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865 (two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued).

It is literally a celebration of being the last to know...

#8 Whew, luckily it didn't occur on Feb 29th.

#9 20th person shot at Juneteenth celebration - it's not quite "headless body found in topless bar", but it's what we got.

I never heard of Juneteenth before living in Texas, but it always seemed a bit amusing for a 'holiday', mostly due to the timing. I imagine it went something like this:

General Granger: I have come to declare that on January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation. You are all free.
Crowd: Yay!
Guy in back: Hey, wait a minute! Eighteen sixty three was 2 years ago. I been picking cotton for the last two years when I didn't have to? Dayamn!

#10 I never heard of Kwanzaa until about 1990 or 2000 or so, and I grew up in a rather major urban/metro area. I knew quite a few church-attending blacks, and never once did they mention this Kwanzaa nonsense.

#15 Funny that CNN reporting used only white witnesses insinuating it was not a black event...

#16 "Juneteenth? Dude, I ain't got a clue,
So let's do what we usually do..."
"Like work on our triggers?"
"And shoot at some--"
[figures]
Well, next year the news may get through.

#17 As my older sister reminded me.
J19 is because a White Republican Military fought, won and many died to make it happen.
