OK. Fine. Let’s dump Christmas. Not all Americans have an invisible friend they worship on December 25.
But, it’s obvious you just don’t get it. Juneteenth is not a day to celebrate black people—it’s a day to celebrate an end to the abomination of slavery. Slavery was a national embarrassment. Treating some people as if they were less than human and that some lives are more important than others is disgusting, although it is clear that many here still have that mindset.
Ending slavery is something meaningful to ALL Americans and should be celebrated.
