OR! that some denominations of christianity, such as eastern orthodox, celebrate christmas on jan 7th and new year's on jan 14th, so they get TWO christmases and TWO new years- one is religious, one is federal.

Or that Juneteenth is in spring. Summer starts on the 21st or 22nd of June.

And both Christmas and New Years have roots in paganism. Gasp! I would add some snarky comment about America having lost it’s “Christian” principles, but that happened long ago.

Exactly. The right says that you need to wait until you get out of high school to learn about the past because you might learn some ugly truths about our nation that still haven't been learned by many people.

And that is why I teach my children about it myself. I won't allow them to grow up ignorant the way I did. We must do better.

Lmao so true.

I have been aware of Juneteenth for many years. My viewpoint is that slavery degrades both the slaves and the masters and the emancipation freed both. I don't understand the mindset that thinks it is good to own people and treat them any way they want.

Proud boys feel intimidated by black people. Plain and simple. Makes them feel less special.

It's a holiday that will show progress towards the more perfect union. I'd like to see MLK Day changed to Civil Rights Day and celebrate all who raised the dignity and social standing of people.

I couldn't agree more. I'm a little conflicted because sure, it's nice that it's been made a federal holiday and I do think it's important to recognize it's significance but also it kinda feels like a wasted opportunity to do something actually meaningful. Ultimately this new holiday will become like many others, a day where some people get a paid day off of work and others don't

I get the sentiment, but it is a black holiday. Most non black people hadn't heard of it half a decade ago and most black people I know would prefer yall not to water it down. There's already talk of it turning into the black Cinco de Mayo and I'd rather yall just go back to pretending it doesn't exist than that.

How can someone call Juneteenth of all days a holiday only for people of color. That's awful. It's a holiday for us all to think of what happened to good, honest hard working people and to remember that what happened was a tragedy. I It's an ignorant comment to say it's a holiday for just one race or two. Frankly, I don't even understand such thinking. I don't think of MLK's holiday like that. Nor do I think such ridiculous thoughts about other holidays named for people. Wow. Have we grown so little that people can't acknowledge what happened and want to honor those that were hurt, killed, or their livelihoods ruined and more? If that is the case, we are in even bigger trouble than we thought. No one blames a given religious group for 9/11 so why are we going to limit Juneteenth to a holiday that is only for POC. Not only was it a horrific series of egregious and inhumane acts committed that day, but it hurt everyone in the long run. We all suffer when even a single citizen of this country is harmed, character assassinated, and God forbid died during that event

Damn straight! And man do we have a long way to grow!!!

Yup I've never cared about the 4th cause they didn't consider us people. I'd rather have a Juneteenth bbq than a 4th

As someone else said, just make it one big long holiday'! We already do that here. Canada Day is July 1. So near the border, which is damn near all of us, we just party from the 1st to the 4th. Like a zillion fireworks!. And now we have an excuse to go from the 19th to the 4th? I'm gettin old. Will need a nap break in there. But yay! Also, on a more serious note. Congratulations.

@@kathryncasey4114 Comedian Paul Mooney died recently. Have you ever heard his thoughts on slavery or the last time white people were really happy? Edit: There’s a clip called White Folks Are Mad We Got Away. I think there’s a whole bunch of truth behind what Mooney joked about, especially for the United Daughters of the Confederacy and our confederate states who have worked tirelessly to change the narrative about the Civil War and claim it had nothing to do with slavery. They spread the lie that it was about states rights and put up all the statues and monuments celebrating confederate “heroes.” They have championed this “lost cause” idea that it was a war of northern aggression slaves were like part of the family and they have a great deal of political power.and funding still today along with preapproval of textbooks in the south and now all across America. These ladies have quietly been working since the end of the Civil War and are still at it. They’ve been very successful indoctrinating Americans with this false narrative. We have the actual history written by the governors and leaders of each confederate state with the reason they chose to go to war, but these ladies just pretended this info didn’t exist and rewrote history and they’ve gotten away with it. Anyway, Mooney’s very funny, but unfortunately, there’s more than a little truth behind it.

They have guilty consciences, obviously.

I like the sentiment of this, but is commemorating the citizenship act more of a kick in the teeth to Indians? As I learned it in school a lot of them at the time were pretty resentful of US rule and didn't want citizenship, they rather would have had independence or at least autonomy. Giving them citizenship was the government stopping them from being "wards of the state" more or less to make them pay taxes or stop receiving benefits like they had been. Maybe there's a big cultural significance to Indians of the Indian citizenship act like juneteenth is to Blacks that I just don't know about but if not then it might be considered tone deaf. Perhaps something like Oneida v Oneida, New York (if I remember that right) would be better since I believe that was the first time the government gave stole land and self rule back to the Indians or whatever act overturned Termination or perhaps the date of the Indian New Deal would be better?

I LOVE this idea!

@@joewilson3575 There is no one Indigenous point of view in central North America (just like it would be ridiculous to expect all the countries in Europe to agree on something) and opinions have changed over time in regards to citizenship. The Act isn't a moment for most Indigenous communities that I know of, and certainly not like Juneteenth is. In that, I think you're correct. (The "benefits" recieved either presently or historically are no such thing. You don't pay benefits to your landlord, you pay them rent. When someone steals something from someone, pay the person they stole from "benefits" they pay them restitution. Indigenous Americans receive no benefits from the United States, or any state agency. It is impossible to benefit from those who have colonized your land.) So yes, it's a very different thing for Indigenous folks than it is for Black Americans. My only suggestion is that you remain aware that there's a WIDE range of political opinions in Indigenous spaces. Just because whites and everyone else treats them like a monolithic block, did not suddenly make 256+ separate countries, cultures and communities start thinking like one. And thank you for being more aware of actual events (like Oneida v Oneida). Appreciate that. 👍🏽

Slavery didn't end in the Oklahoma territory until the 1880's. I don't remember the exact year, but slavery was legal for the Cherokee and Choctaw in the territory until just before statehood. That's the origin of the Freedmen. They're black, but the BIA kind of half-assed regards them as Native.

This might be a metaphor for what people are actually scared of - white people are scared of losing their white privilege and having someone to feel "superior" over. Deep systemic change is absolutely necessary. I feel hopeful that there is progress being made.
