Black History Month, MLK Day and now this? Seems racist to me. We can't even have Columbus Day anymore. I'm offended. Wheres the holiday for those who lack color?

Wtf is Juneteenth? It popped up on my calendar this morning

Mark my words, another holiday will get cancelled. Not looking good for Presidents' Day. All those old, slave owning white guys you know. He will cancel it and then call the feds racist because they don't cancel it as well.

It commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union general Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas, that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free.

My brother works for the state. Says that they are getting another day off. HR is scrambling trying to figure out how they're going to implement it

Apple does the same crap. Every phone has a "regional" setting. There is no reason for all those "international" holidays to show up.

You’re not supposed to be out fucking around. The day is for reflection and observance and to ask for forgiveness for being born white.

I wouldn't dream of it. Holidays are supposed to be a reprieve from what you do every day at work.

So the holiday will be very serious and thoughtful for me.

Except I was born Polish. I never did get an apology from the Kaiser for taking the family farm back in 35. No African slaves in Warsaw or Krackow. "My people" never had anything to do with the African slave trade.
