The whole point is: You cannot win.
“Hey, man, I see you did something. Why you gotta be so racist?”

I also don’t like watermelons, but I don’t get offended when they’re offered to me.

One year ago, I had never heard of Juneteenth (or is it Juneteempf). Now, it’s our most important national holiday.

Cherlisa Starks-Richardson was disappointed when she learned that the beloved children’s museum in her community was selling a “watermelon salad” in celebration of Juneteenth. What in the world?
To: Salman
Yep, the best way to celebrate Juneteenth is to serve sliced watermelon and fried chicken. Oh… and let’s not forget to schedule twerking and rap contests.

No effing kidding you cant win. If a company did not offer anything special, they would be racist.

It is a very important (and Republican) holiday.
It is the day that Republican bayonets finally reached Galveston freeing the last of the democrats slaves.

My credit union has a banner on its web page:
All MAX branches will be closed on Monday, June 20, 2022, in observance of Juneteenth.

I mentioned on another Junteenth thread that a local grocery chain in my town has chicken and ribs on sale this week.

I keep thinking the name of Jo Jo’s holiday is “umpfteenth”. The Goofy Let’s Go Brandon holiday. Sort of a Kwanzaa in June.

It’s impossible to celebrate a black holiday without somebody deciding you are being racist. So why try?

What's the problem with watermelon? I'm as white as white can be and I *love* watermelon. Why is it a problem if some (or,perhaps,many) black people like it too?

Big news. Some people are offended by everything or anything. They are known as Liberals.
