The truth of the matter is black people don’t deserve another holiday until they take over the NHL.

Now that's a fkn joke

I’m for any holiday where a company will actually add it instead of shifting others. You aren’t that woke if you take away Good Friday to give some juneteenth off.

I don’t know what it is but I’ll take the day off as long as they’re actually adding it.

I would take the Reagan years over what we have now.

Of course. That wasn't the context of his post

Bill to make Juneteenth legal holiday in Tennessee advances

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bill to make Juneteenth a legal holiday in Tennessee is one step closer to becoming law after clearing a Senate committee Tuesday.

Senate Bill 269 by Senate Leader Jack Johnson (R—Franklin) would add Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19 each year, as another legal holiday in the Volunteer State. Currently, Juneteenth is recognized as a special observance, which means state employees are still required to work on that day. Making Juneteenth a legal holiday would grant the day as a paid day off, like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day or Christmas Day.

Ironically there’s a lot of companies that have taken peoples good Friday holiday and moved to this made up “holiday”. Dei is so important they can’t afford to just add another holiday.

Disgusting? That says a TON about you, you don't realize, LOL.

Every holiday is made up. You're just mad that they made one up for the freeing of the slaves.

Juneteenth has been observed by some Americans since 1866.

My company at the time took away Presidents’ Day. Which was really ironic since, according to the musical Hamilton, George Washington was also black

Some of the companies I am familiar with have quietly dropped Juneteenth as an off-day.

Says more about you than it does me. They took away a centuries old holiday for a decades old holiday that less people celebrate. Cry all you want, the facts are still in your face.

This one is stupidly made up and you know that, like Kwanzuh.

However, it has given me the day off. Viva la June 19!

My idiot former lawyer realized at mediation that my ex had one less day of custody than me every year and threw in Juneteenth and it’s twice almost messed with Fathers Day weekend.

In general I think we have too many holidays. But given the significance of slavery to American history, it’s reasonable

To many holidays and to many professional sports teams.

We need one between Presidents Day and Memorial Day. That's a brutal three month stretch. Easter actually fits in nicely.
