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?Because Emancipation day and Juneteenth are different days. --- The first person to be fully vaccinated on GameFaQs.

The only thing I'm going to hate about the holiday is the commercialization that will most likely start next year. We already have too much going on with things like Christmas appearing in fucking July at the earliest.

Trump is now claiming full credit for making this holiday a major deal.He did though. Juneteeth was a local holiday in Texas until 2019 when Trump was to hold a rally on June 19th. Being opportunistic, journos reported this as racist and unacceptable. Previous to that no one outside of Texas had heard of it. This fact check is true. Trump contributed greatly to making juneteenth a holiday. ... Copied to Clipboard!

it isnt taught in schools and normal people dont randomly search for what are the worst atrocities committed in the midwestHardly anything is taught in schools beyond the absolute basics, and yet everyone is more informed than than in various subjects because they chose to do their own research on their own time. I liked Edgar Allen Poe as a kid so instead of just reading the token one or two stories of his we read in school I picked up a biography and a large compilation of his works, learning that he was a much more nuanced man and author than what my English teacher had told the class. Someone who was actually interested in thingd like civil rights or understanding racism in America, would have reasonable heard about Tulsa at some point in their own research. Like I said this isn't some davinci code stuff, the information that such a thing happened is pretty surface level. Now if a person doesn't actually care about such things their ignorance is understandable, I don't care about sports so I can't tell you even basic info about even the most popular ones, but on the other hand I've never pretended to care about them to seem like a better person than I actually am. ...

Key words being "if they are interested", if someone who doesn't care about racism, or only cares about it on a surface level to look good hasn't heard of Tulsa I wouldn't be surprised or hold it against them. ...

It's not like stuff like that is a secret. Anyone actually interested in it and not just wanting to posture about being interested would have known about it. This doesnt make sense. If she didnt know about the Tulsa Massacre at all before, how would she know what to look up to learn more? Also, it seems like something that should be taught in a history class Also, not everyone has the free time to look up random stuff. She may have other things that she looks up in her free time. Like I used to do research on animals in my free time. So, I wouldnt have had time to research this stuff. Nor did it interest me. But also, since there wasnt an animal class, I had to look stuff up like that on my own.
