I had to listen to a fellow worker bitch about Juneteenth

[bif]

And how it wasn't a real holiday. I wanted to say to her, "Yeah, Blacks already have Martin Luther King Day. What more do they want?" But I just walked away from her and let her whine to someone else.

1. Juneteenth -- today -- is the real July 4th.

It's the day all Americans became free. Well, sort of.

2. Needless to say, she's a tRumper.

I don't engage with tRumpers. Ever.

[Skittles]

6. Needless to say, she's a racist

yes INDEED

3. Every time I hear someone say it's not a real holiday, I want to ask, exactly what is a real holiday?

Every damn holiday celebrated was not a real holiday before it was a holiday. Is it written somewhere that "From this day forward there shall be no more days that can be named a holiday"?

4. Like my wife said, "And Columbus Day is a holiday?!?!"

[Skittles]

5. YUP

Juneteenth makes WAY MORE SENSE to me than does COLUMBUS DAY

[Deuxcents]

7. I prefer Indigenous People's Day..Columbus never set foot here

8. From President Obama

9. Racists say/believe the same about MLK's birthday

[Emile]

10. Someone with low self-esteem puts down others

to make them feel superior.

11. I love it when people use sexist words to condemn racism.
