I remember when Juneteeth became a thing. I thought it was a typo. So I fixed all the calendar at work to have “June Nineteenth.”
didn’t realize you were alive in 1866. how’s it feel berng the oldest documented living human? and i guess it goes a long way to explaining your stupid racist crashout about a holiday celebrating the liberation of the last slaves held in texas just because you weren’t centered in a conversation for 1 entire day
It’s been a thing longer than you’ve been alive. It just hadn’t spread to most white people. It’s only recently become a thing that everyone is aware of.
I did research afterwards. It seems to be something from Texas IIRC. I’m nowhere near Texas.
Texas is where the very last slaves were freed, Galveston to be specific. That said, it’s been celebrated in black communities (on and off because racism) outside of Texas for over a century
Imagine being salty about losing a war that you didn’t fight, your fathers didn’t fight, nor your father’s father, nor your father’s father’s father.
