State of Virginia Closed Friday for Juneteenth: White Slavery Day

Friend: #1: I’m looking forward to celebrating, “They are going home to Africa” Day.

Friend #2: Probably not a good idea for a White Person of Color to be out and about Friday p.m. and Saturday. Baltimore, DC, Chicongo should really go wild.

#2: Get ready for a wave of shootings at celebrations.

N.S.: And for even more black-on-White hate crimes than have been typical of late.

Break out the forty ounce malt liquor, fried chicken, rap music. Maybe some gunfire and "mass shootings too".

I had the radio on for a bit and I don't know how fast this is happening,but WBBM seemed to indicate a push to make this Juneteenth garbage a national holiday.

Switching to local TV news,one of the commie broadcasters led with a story,"of why it's important to make Juneteenth a national holiday."

N.S.,what the hell is going on?

AND IT'S DONE:JUNETEENTH RAMMED THROUGH CONGRESS AS THE 12TH FEDERAL HOLIDAY.WHY?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will soon have a new federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the nation.

The House voted 415-14 Wednesday to make Juneteenth, or June 19th, the 12th federal holiday. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden’s desk, and he is expected to sign it into law.

Juneteenth commemorates the day the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free. Confederate soldiers surrendered in April 1865, but word didn’t reach the last enslaved Black people until June 19, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to Galveston, Texas. That was also about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Southern states.

It’s the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created in 1983.

“Our federal holidays are purposely few in number and recognize the most important milestones,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. “I cannot think of a more important milestone to commemorate than the end of slavery in the United States.”

The Senate passed the bill a day earlier under a unanimous consent agreement that expedites the process for considering legislation. It takes just one senator’s objection to block such agreements.

GRA:When did this all happen--and why?So we delete Columbus Day because he's White,add another nig day--to make two.I don't understand,N.S.,explain it to me and all of us please.
