Now as far as I have read, someone said something about systemic racism Not only am I confused, I almost think it is intentional. You want to have a confusing mess as to what your day is about? I'm curious! Is this an engineered ignorance? What's going on here? What the hell is Juneteenth? See, I love these posts. You are aware that Juneteenth exists now. Yet instead of using Google and gaining knowledge on the subject, you choose post this very thinly veiled troll post. Muscles posted...

ChaoticKnuckles 06/17/21 9:14:08 PM #87:	Zeus posted... Considering that we probably have a hundred federal holidays at this point, everybody should have voted against it. Pretty soon they're going to have more days off than days on. That's really a secondary issue here. TD mostly trolls with nonsense so his response is unsurprising. I had heard of the name in passing over the years (probably just within the last five years and from sources trying to make it a holiday) but had no fucking clue what it meant and wouldn't have connected it to the event. First, because we have an absurd number of holidays. Second, holidays disrupt everyday life and it's just one more thing to have to schedule around. And honestly, a lot of federal holidays don't seem to apply to everybody anyway. It's just another day when overpaid government employees are able to take a day off when they already don't work enough for what we're paying them. You really dont have an understanding of government work. Most federal employees are just as hard working as private employees are. If your idea of overpaid government employees is politicians then you need to get your head out of the sand. --- You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone.

Veedrock- 06/18/21 8:53:46 AM #99:	EvilMegas posted... America's Emancipation day is called Juneteenth. It absolutely isn't. Juneteenth was a regional thing, which is why so many people never heard of it. America's Emancipation Day is April 16th, your own link says it. Since when can countries not have the same name for holidays? Many countries have their own Independence Days too, we all call it the same thing. So why can't America call its Emancipation Day just that? --- My friends call me Vee. I'm not your friend, buddy. <cite>Veedrock- posted [p:955162248] in Juneteenth...
