I understand it’s an important historical event but it seems like it was just made up and everyone went along with it because they want a day off. I had never even heard of it before a few years ago. Big yikes, I know. I’m working on addressing my ignorance.
Anyone else blown away at how fast Juneteenth became a “thing”?

Juneteenth was definitely a thing if you did any African American history. I don’t think it was celebrated by anyone but most black people would know about it

I had zero gay experiences in boarding school 😔I never saw another live peepee till I was 18. That’s what I get for doing cross country instead of a team sport with group showers

Not really, it was a Texas holiday not a black one. One of my parents taught AA studies, it was something that academic types knew of but nobody else but Texans had reason to celebrate.

It was definitely not celebrated or taught in Chicago in the 80s and 90s. But now the media, the Alzheimer's patients from the old Rainbow Coalition, the grifters from the newer Rainbow Coalition, and liberal white people are acting like it's always been a thing here.

This is something that infuriates me. Like 2 weeks after George Floyd was killed my friends from LA were trying to claim that they had all been celebrating Juneteenth our whole lives (they had not).
