Juneteenth is now a federal holiday

The bill to make Juneteenth a holiday was signed today earlier by Pres.Joe Biden. How do you feel about this and why do you think it to so long to become a holiday,after over 150 yrs?

Yeah it's pretty good

Probably racism caused it to not be recognised as a holiday

Maybe black folks celebrating being freed should think a bit about all the black folks still enslaved outside the US, maybe they wouldn't think they had it so bad from systemic racism and white supremacy and try to figure out how to help their enslaved brothers. Or do Black Lives only Matter if they're American?

you make a good point. There is still slavery in the world and we should work on stopping it.

Good luck stopping it when no one wants to talk about it, MSM doesn't acknowledge it even exists, none of the last 20 Presidents have mentioned it in any way shape or form, it's never been on any political platform, it has zero economic importance to the US, and black people in this country ignore it.

The fvck can anyone do about that shit?!

They're so damn hell bent for leather to wreck entire cities over the mistreatment death of one black man but an entire enslaved race means nothing... NOTHING???!

Americans are fvcking useless.

Can't even pronounce the word. June-teen? Sounds ridiculous. Sounds like an Asian holiday.

hold on there. The us always intervenes with nations that do atrocities like this. I think Biden is going full metal jacket on this, lol.

Juneteenth sounds like a big phat lady

Hello dim.

Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum. Except the 1st post,the other posts are disingenuous. Can mods move this to general please?

My comments weren't disingenuous, they were serious and were from informed observation.

Ok bro. I'm gonna assume your not Black and dont fully understand the significance of Juneteenth. A significance that is identified with African American slaves not African slaves all over the world. So ,like I said before, your comment other African slaves was disingenuous. Sounds like something Surtur would say tbh. To cause strife.

Fair enough, happy Juneteenth then.

Thank you

I'll go one better for you folks, let's take some coin from the the top 50 richest white dickbags in the world and distribute that money to all the black folks in the USA which got hit the hardest with slavery. #GeniusIdea #BLM
