"WASHINGTON — Senators on Friday announced legislation to make Juneteenth, a widely observed holiday that marks the federal order to free slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865, a national holiday.

Also known as Emancipation Day, Black Independence Day or Jubilee Day, Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery after the Civil War, although President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had legally accomplished that within the Confederacy more than two years earlier. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery throughout the entire United States."

How do you feel Sherbros? I mean I think it's a good idea. I think we should also remove Columbus day at the same time.

If we make juneteenth a federal holiday, will the leftist mobs stop vandalizing, attacking, looting and tearing everything down?

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I agree, it's a good idea.

 

[Queen B]

Agreed.

Added benefit is that most companies will observe Juneteenth whilst not observing Columbus Day

 

[GiTGuD]

Do it, make corporations pay workers more if they work the holiday.


We should also do an official Native American holiday(thanksgiving dont count) to replace Columbus.

 

[Jkillah]

OK with me, and if my employer wants to give me an extra holiday I'll take it.

Hadn't even heard of this "holiday" until a few days ago. All the sudden it's something everyone's been celebrating since forever.

Would you like to join the celebration? We have beer and tacos.

Yikes, everyone knows french toast is superior.

 

[RetiredSlave]

Also never heard of it before a few days ago. Horrible name, call it anything but Juneteenth please.

 

[all caps]

There goes white people, making up black holidays out of thin air, per usual.

 

[JbModest]

Never heard the term Juneteenth before either. Emancipation Day has a good ring to it.

 

[Fawlty]

Give to me the time and a half pay, by any means necessary.

Ffs. Do you want it or not?

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

If we make juneteenth a federal holiday, will the leftist mobs stop vandalizing, attacking, looting and tearing everything down?

No. If they win in 2020 it won't stop either.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Why not both? It's not like the vast majority people would reflect on why they are getting a day off.

 

[Javelina]

it's primarily a texas thing

 

[Corn Pop Hombre]

How is juneteenth NOT already a federal holiday? All of the bullshit we have holidays for and the day millions of people were liberated from bondage isnt one of them? What the fuck?

 

[lifelessheap]

Isn't that just Black Friday?
