    I don't agree with the sudden celebration of "juneteenth" because it is intended to draw constant attention to slavery, for the purpose of condemning the foundation and moral legitimacy of the united States. I also don't agree with the replacement of any of our traditions by holidays our enemies tell us are better suited. Remember, they want to completely replace our culture with something they deem appropriate, and they hate us and all our traditions.

    The use of the abbreviation for the term "people of color" disgusts me. Never agree to use the terms the enemy of our country creates. A large part of the enemy's strategy is controlling the language.

    People of European ancestry alive today in the US have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about regarding any other genetic group of humans. Period. People of genetic legacy other than European have no justification in claiming grievance. Period. Anything else is a politically driven attempt to win power via exploiting and abusing our home culture's penchant for self reflection and taking responsibility. The side making accusations doesn't do that, do they?

    It should be promoted as a day to celebrate our country’s progress towards equal liberties.

    Unfortunately I’m sure it will be used as a day for virtue signaling to stir more racial tension.

    “Juneteenth” can go **** itself.
    Color me “further polarized”.

    Juneteenth does not draw attention to slavery in order to cast the US in a negative light. It draws attention to the fact that the US abolished slavery through a very costly war and through our Constitutional ammendment process. The fact that the holiday may be weaponized by race-baiters and leftists does not change this.

    Also, it's not a new holiday nor is it replacing anything.

    This is BS. Slavery persisted in three Union states (remember, Emancipation Proclamation only covered states "in rebellion") until the 13th Amendment was ratified on December 6. If they really wanted to celebrate slavery's end, THAT would be the day.

    Isn't the correct name for the Holiday "Thank you White People"? How about a moment of silence for all the troops that died to end slavery? Happy Democrats kept you enslaved and Republicans freed you Day?
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    It is in accordance with the current political strategy which includes the odious and dishonest "1619 project." This strategy draws attention to slavery to reframe the United States in a negative manner and is specifically intended to take focus away from everything positive by reinforcing the view that the negatives outweigh the positives. It is intended to justify the notion that our traditions are outdated and require replacement. There is no good reason to highlight slavery now, outside of a university history class about how the US was one of the first nations to ban it's practice.

    Your response to the topic of slavery should be "shut up commie scum," not, "oh yeah, we're so, so, sorry about that." Get it?

    The radical left is at war to win a country, the right is too busy reacting defensively to their propaganda to counter attack.

    Also, it's not a new holiday nor is it replacing anything.
    I was responding to the idea of replacing Columbus Day with this.

    So, if your Black and your Parents migrated here after 1870 and in to the Northern States, do you still celebrate and how bout those reparations?
    Do we get those too?

    Also worth noting that Virginia came within an eyeblink of Abolition in the early 1800s, with Thomas Jefferson's grandson one of the prime movers in the effort, only to have the Nat Turner and Haitian uprisings happen at the worst possible time, particularly with the brutal, indiscriminate slaughter in Haiti.

    Well... at the risk of pointing out the obvious it's certainly a new federal holiday and draws attention in a variety of manner, as evidence here. It also replaces a day of work with yet another day a of paid do-nothing for government employees.

    See... it's not enough to celebrate the end of slavery on Juneteenth (Saturday) oh no! Government workers should be paid to not come to work Friday or get premium pay.

    "Agencies should direct such employees to not report to work on Friday -- unless the agency determines that their services are required. If employees are required to work during qualifying holiday hours, they will earn holiday premium pay," the US Office of Personnel Management announced Thursday in a memo.
