Juneteenth ect
I haven’t said anything about Juneteenth because I’m a cynical son of a bitch. I know what will happen. It’ll get Corporatized like President’s Day, MLK’s birthday and Memorial Day, which once was a ‘black holiday’ too; Remembrance Day. And who thinks of the struggles of Labor on Labor Day?
Capitalism has stripped them of their meaning. They became a time for BBQ and sales. That is what will happen to Juneteenth. It will be shifted from June 19th to the nearest Monday to create another three day weekend. Since it’s June, it too will become a time for BBQ and sales: “Equal Rights Means Equal Prices!!”
So yeah, I support it in theory, but probably not in practice…unless the law states that it must be celebrated on June 19th no matter what day of the week it falls on.
