Happy Juneteenth!
The New York Times ran an article about it for this year and one of the commenters on the article said what a lot of us are thinking:It’s only a matter of time before Trump turns his vindictive attentions on the Blacks, as a slumlord’s son, and cancels this holiday and MLK’s birthday too.
This will be the first year that Trump will be president while Juneteenth is a national holiday.
It's anybody's guess how he will celebrate it - hypocritically by pretending to care about Black people while leading a Republican Party allied to Curtis "Blacks were better under slavery" Yarvin, (good friend of Razib Khan) or horribly, by attacking the holiday and/or Black people.
UPDATE -well now we know - Trump went with "horribly."
Juneteenth, the holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States, has been celebrated at the White House each June 19 since it was enshrined into law four years ago. But on Thursday, it went unmarked by the president — except for a post on social media in which he said he would get rid of some “non-working holidays.”
“Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year,” Mr. Trump said in mangled syntax, not mentioning Juneteenth by name nor acknowledging that Thursday was a federal holiday. “It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
What a miserable POS.
