Juneteenth is the most retarded name ever. It sounds like something a nose-ringed teen girl would say. Then again, people who "celebrate" this shit aren't much more intelligent.
Officially it's "Juneteenth National Independence Day". According to Wikipedia, there's two names I prefer. One is Emancipation Day, which is the obvious way to go. The other is Jubilee Day. In ancient Israel, Jubilee was an event that occurred once every 50 years, which included freeing all the slaves.
According to bibliotech.us:
Imagine if we had a Jubilee in the U.S. and all non-foreign debts were forgiven. The repercussions and logistics of it alone would be mind-blowing. As would the systems debtors put in place to minimize their losses.
It's deliberately vague and awkward to say. When is it? What does it celebrate? Why is it so fucking clumsy it's like how relationships on tumblr are just two character names smushed together.
Shit, you are so right, it sounds like those cringe ship names.
It sounds like something someone lisps with an overbite through a busted lip because they were punched in the mouth
I like how people are pretending that Juneteenth existed prior to the 1970's.
I defy anyone to provide me a picture of the 1903 Juneteenth celebration, and explain to me how the word "Juneteenth" was popular vernacular.
