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”?
Fixed the word retcon
Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'

Juneteenth is a real event which was celebrated by some people before 2020 predominately in majority African American communities or schools. This much is true.
The only reason it’s a federal holiday however is because a fetanyl addict was unjustly killed when detained by police for using counterfeit money in a convenience store at the end of May. The resulting social outrage led to mass protests as well as violent riots during June. In an effort to quell social discontent without having to solve any of the core problems our benevolent elected overlords graced us with a new federal holiday.

My pet theory is that they made Juneteenth a recognized holiday so that a certain group of rainbow enthusiasts don’t get to have the whole month to themselves

Also June 19th was only when slaves in Texas found out they were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emacipation Proclamation didnt free all the slaves, just the ones in confederate stated. Several border states that allied with the north were able to keep practicing slavery up until the 13th Amendment was ratified iirc. If they went by that date it would be sometime in mid december and would conflict with hanakah/christmas.

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.
