They mention that communication was so slow it took until June for the people in Galveston to hear that slavery was over (simplified take, but still). They never mention that the Republican party was the one that made it happen, along with untold multiple thousands of dead white men in a Civil War. Or that the first slaveholder was a black man named Anthony Johnson (they'll argue technicalities), or that the first 23 black Congressmen were all Republicans, or that the KKK is the creation of the Democrats.
Also not mentioned is that a "Juneteenth" couldn't happen again today because the White Devil has made communication nearly instantaneous.
Anyway, the answer is pandering. That's why it's now a national holiday. Pandering.
Our lovely leaders made it: S. 475, the “Juneteenth National Independence Day Act,” which designates Juneteenth National Independence Day as a legal public holiday. Biden signed it into law.
It is made to create division not unity. The shortest month of the year is black history month. So they chose this day to take one day away from priDE MONth. To show that they still really 'care'.
Blacks and Queers are the corner stone of the DNC control system. They don't want black people to 'forget' about their masters. Appeasement.
They want to take away all connections to the first Republican president, Lincoln ending slavery. They want to say dems created this day. They took away Lincoln's birthday as a holiday and made it part of Presidents Day. This was a good tweet by Allen West.. https://greatawakening.win/p/16bPeYy3oG/the-best-juneteenth-post/c/
Unlike "Pride Month", celebrating the end of legalized chattel slavery in the United States seems a perfectly legit reason for a holiday. I know that Juneteenth is being framed and used as Woke ammunition, but c'mon -- ending slavery here IS something to celebrate.
Yeah, I get another day to spend with my family.
June needed a big holiday.
If we could do something for August.
Juneteenth should be national as it celebrates the Republican victory over slavery.
Many good White men fought and Died to bring this about. GOD inspired these men to die for men who did not look like them. Jesus calls these men Great. I'm inspired by men such as these.
Juneteenth is the day to teach about these honorable men.
Black people need to understand the sacrifices that Made America great.
The left opened up a can of destruction with this holiday.
Folk that think with their skin tone rather than their brains will always have s problem with it.
Some Folk have a problem with Columbus Day.
June 19 in1865, a ship landed in Galveston with the news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which was signed on January 1 in 1863...at the time, according to local Galveston lore, the blacks claimed that they were intentionally held in slavery for the extra yr+, before they were allowed to have the info that they were free...the term Juneteenth was created/celebrated primarily in Texas locally for a long time, before it caught national attention as THE freedom day...back in mid 1800's Texas was a wild and dangerous land, without regular communications resources, so Galveston, being known as "the Wall Street of the Southwest" was the hub for business, until the 1900 hurricane took out most of the town.
Fake and gay like everything else. ☺️
I like the Judge’s opinion

Lmao.
Much of country outside of Texas had never heard of it until a few years ago.

Isn’t Independence Day July 4th? Weird
"Mom i want independence day!"(4th of July)
"No hun, we have independence day at home."(Juneteenth)
We're living in the Panderverse

I would have liked Allen West as Texas governor.
Yeah. I'm hoping he is at least part of Trump's administration.
Me too. Paxton would be too, but Texas still needs him. We have lots of RINOs.
An excuse for government workers to ge another paid day off.
Personally, I think the name is stupid. The official end of slavery was a good thing and should be celebrated.
It was celebrated in the midwest for at least a decade. I think it was used as the reason for black families getting together.
To make up for Fentanyl Floyd

They want us divided, it’s their old playbook.
