Mainstreaming Juneteenth is kind of a perfect example of everything the woke do in their culture war, because it simultaneously (1) is the kind of thing they can make others feel like they have to participate in (and wokies can scream at them if they don’t) while also (2) being very fraught with the likelihood that the non-wokies will “do it wrong” or “get it wrong,” (and in that case wokies can scream at them for THAT). I don’t have a single problem with the holiday, groups can decide what’s important to them and when/how to celebrate, but I think what I just described is an obvious phenomenon that pervades every last bit of wokeness and the ways by which they seek to make cultural gains.
Add to it, what does this dopey-ass writer expect? His movement constantly demands that other people and organizations “see” them, celebrate them, just stfu and include them. Making the holiday mainstream is the kind of thing they wanted. Now they got it and they don’t want it anymore? I don’t really believe that (I think the dopey-ass writer is just executing the second technique I mentioned above) but if they don’t like, what happens if it gets taken away again? I bet then this dopey-ass writer would put out an article saying how awesome Juneteenth was when it was just him and the fam, that it became lame when they desegregated it, but that now giving it back to just the fam is like totally the worst thing ever. Can’t win with these cocksuckers, so people should just stop playing.
Don't forget it's constructed out of a complete fiction.
I seriously doubt Juneteenth was celebrated continuously in Galveston, TX. I want photographic evidence of the 1927 Juneteenth celebration in Galveston. Funny thing is, I know there isn't one from Detroit in 2009. Wasn't one in Harlem in 1962, either.
It seems like it doesn't even occur in the general consciousness prior to 2015. It's a complete and total gaslighting.
I did a custom time range on google news from 1995 to 2009 and to say the articles about Juneteenth is sparse would be an understatement. And a lot of articles that showed up in the results is there because they have links to juneteenth articles written post 2020.
I'm a fairly knowledgeable American, not a brag but I talk to a lot of dumbasses who have TDS and can't tell you the capital of new york or have basic knowledge of current events other than what youtube and late night hosts tells them. Some, I shit you not, can't multiply or divide past single digits. Just fucking morons.
Anyways, the point is: I'm not a retard and I heard of Juneteenth only after I grew up and went to Texas when I joined the Army, spent two separate summers there and never once saw anyone do a damn thing for juneteenth.
I can't link it because it's got that extra bit of code (metadata?) in the link.
Just go to google, type juneteenth, click on news, click on tools (between the search bar and the articles, and in the timeframe dropbox select custom range at the very bottom, then just pick the timeframe you like.
you'll see it ramp up around 2013 and go nuts in recent years, but 2008 and prior not so much.
