why you so triggered by juneteenth?
it really could not be more American
it is a reflection of july 4th, same idea, declaring independence, except the african slaves were not included
to think Lincoln emancipated them and they did not know for close to 2 years later
it is something worth celebrating and in no way divides
so explain why Trump is reaching out to black voters and black voters are responding positively
this does not sound like division
it's a simple holiday
they were finally told they were no longer slaves
what's the problem with celebrating that?
i don't get it
idk, it's been celebrated in texas for many, many years
it seems to be such a positive thing to me, so i don't understand why such a negative spin is being put on it
also, it seems much more important to acknowledge than even mlk jr, although he was a great civil rights leader
ultimately, it is about inclusion, not division, to acknowledge that it was an important moment in the history of black Americans
ok, i get off my soapbox now
