Juneteenth is now an official federal holiday! June 19th!
He doesn't have to wait long, it's this Saturday.Vin can’t wait for Juneteenth 2021
Really seems like DC is catching on.Don't Care.
Entitled?Hoping this brings some healing to those who’s families were indentured slaves in this country. However I feel it’s wrong for the Federal Government to grant themselves paid holidays while the majority of the people that this is intended to honor are not paid for this holiday. Is that racist in an of itself?
This will be another day on top of losing what amounts to about a week a year because of California's infrastructure and fire issues.
Sadly the lost revenue from missing another day of production and shipping, while having to cover payroll, will take a healthy chunk out of the bonus pool.
Must it be observed by everyone? This seems like it will fall under MLK, Presidents’ Day, Columbus Day, etc. Or is all your production and shipping related to the federal government?
This isnt even that. Juneteeth is supposedly the day where the last enslaved black people were freed from a confederate state, which was in Galveston Texas. Essentially this would equate to VE day whereas Pearl Harbor Day would equate to Emancipation Day.I think it is important to take the time to teach the history of Emancipation Day, which is what we were taught the day was called. It commemorates exactly what the bloodiest conflict in US history was fought over.
Shhhh don’t tell anyone. That’s racistIt shouldn’t apply to anyone registered democrap since they were the party that wanted to keep slavery alive.
Don't think anyone is still around from 1866..lolIt shouldn’t apply to anyone registered democrap since they were the party that wanted to keep slavery alive.

Yep, Republicans freeing of slaves. Thank you for reminding everyone how the right has always been in support of PoC.Juneteenth is now an official federal holiday! June 19th!
We don't understand why you didn't give Republicans the credit for ending slavery?I guess I'm not really understanding why so many of you have such a problem with a holiday that celebrates the ending of slavery when most of you have said you either don't get it off or won't be celebrating it?

Kudos to the Republicans of 1860. Not sure where the party took a wrong turn since then...oh wait yes I do, 2016.We don't understand why you didn't give Republicans the credit for ending slavery?

There was BLM in 1865. J/K It’s the actual date from what I read. They didn’t make the date up.Of course to satisfy blm they had to put it in before the 4th.
June 19th is a Saturday. Hardly an extra day off.
We tried to get insurance for a job we are starting on Monday. Office was closed. We will start Tuesday.June 19th is a Saturday. Hardly an extra day off. Hell, you can have June 20th off too!! LOL
RDP could be the only forum with members that complain about free beer and new holidays...
