I guess it’s seen as a controvesial holiday, since it’s supposed to be in memorial of the day slaves were set free.
Maybe people don’t want to be pushed to think about slavery
while shopping at walmart.

Juneteenth is basically a day for the Dims to virtue signal and tell themselves that if they had been there they would have been on the right side of things.

Conveniently forgetting that the Dims literally fought a war to keep blacks in chains, and that June 19th was when word finally got to Texas that the Christian abolitionists won the war and freed the slaves.

I think this is silly.

Juneteenth celebrations and festivals have taken place since 1866, and it’s been recognized officially in Texas since 1938.

These are not for the most part somber holidays - they’re fun ones.

I don’t see a problem with having an ice cream to celebrate it, just as we have all sorts of things marketed to celebrate American Independence.

This is over-sensitivity.
