I am unsure if Juneteenth was our actual “independence day”. Yes slavery ended and that is a good thing… but we went from that to Jim Crow, so were we really “free”?
Ask a lot of us and you’ll find it’s mostly a day off to relax, eat some good food, etc. But it’s not necessarily celebrated in the same sense that it may be for you
No, but the country they now inhabit of their own free will was formed. Are we going to have a national holiday to celebrate important milestones for every ethnic group in America? When will any work ever get done? Or does this only apply to black people for some reason?
Just wondering why black people should get a holiday, what about oh, The end of internment day for Japanese Americans, or the end of exclusion for Chinese Americans? End of genocide day for Native Americans? I can go on and on. How many national holidays can we have? When will we work?
Again, no, the fourth is a holiday for everyone, not just for white people. Are you glad this country exists or not? If you prefer England, you know where the airport is.
I’m sure you are…after all they had same experience as whites for the first 100 years or so of this country. Blacks had every opportunity to make something of themselves just like whites back then.
