Agreed, Good Grief! I supposed it is written in blood by Sleepy Joe and the rest of the crew. So, how do we go about renaming it?---------------------------Ray
September 22(1862) was when the emancipation proclamation was issued it was to take effect on January 1 (1863) and it only freed enslaved people in the states who were in rebellion😉. When the war started in it was not about slavery and Lincoln didn't want to upset some of the border states not in rebellion that allowed slavery.
This ridiculous juneteenth garbage is just what it sounds like and I agree with FCD. If you want to celebrate emancipation do it on the right day, 22 Sep or 1 Jan and call it what it is not some ghetto rap name, IMO its embarrassing and it sounds like an idiot made the name up.
I for one am going to go about my business like nothing is happening which for me its not. Although my people are all from the South we weren't slaves and we didn't own slaves but most of them fought for the CSA.
Flying Clay Disk I read your post and no not everybody skips to the new page... if you click on a thread link it takes you to the oldest "New" message that you have not seen... at least when reading from my computers, maybe phones are different.
Anyways, I agree the name is dumb and would go along with something more appropriate like emancipation day, as far as when to celebrate it, well all I can say is Jesus wasn't born on the 25th of December (or possibly could have...) but we celebrate on that day...
One more point about this ridiculous holiday is this does not celebrate a "National" event. This was a local event in Texas. If TX wants it to be a holiday.............OK but to be a Federal Holiday it should celebrate an event that took place in the whole country. IMO this sets a bad precedent.
Why don't we have a national holiday for the founding of Utah, or maybe a happy Main day for the day Main became its own state and was no longer part of Massachusetts.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

"Juneteenth" is not some second freedom day here in the US. The day that the United States became free for ALL PEOPLE is July 4.

Bingo
I'll be giving out some invisible stars and promotes
I am truly confused. They take down the confederate monuments to forget, but now they want a national holiday to remember.
Pretty much sums it up .. that earns you an invisible promote
Have a bless day...
