I wouldn't even mind the whole Juneteenth thing if it weren't a) given a higher priority than Father's Day and b) not purely propaganda to fan the flames of racism.
If we want to celebrate the fact that predominantly white, U.S. citizens abolished slavery and the gratitude of the freed slaves, that'd be great. But this is instead used as an opportunity to repeat the nonsense of, "hey, slavery existed and despite all historical evidence, we're going to push the idea that it was white (non-Jew, non-Muslim, obviously) people enslaving black people. Have fun with that!"
