I would like to explain "Juneteenth."
First, some personal context. I am a white guy married to a black woman for 30+ years. She comes from a very large, very poor family, living largely in Florida and Georgia. They can trace their roots back to the slave days. Literally no one in her family had ever heard the word "Juneteenth" until it was made a federal holiday. Apparently, the only black people who had ever even heard of that word were from a very specific region of Texas.
So why is it a "holiday"? Because rich white Democrats are patronizing racists. You see, "Juneteenth" is a bastardized word that smacks of an uneducated grasp of the English language. It has the ring of so-called "ebonics." This appeals to rich white Democrats because it conforms to their guiding principle that black people are genetically unintelligent, helpless vassals who cannot survive without the largesse of their rich, white Democrat betters. The word "Juneteenth" appeals to the notion of all rich, white Democrats that all black people are functionally illiterate, and by condescendingly celebrating that supposed illiteracy, the rich, white Democrats affirm their smug superiority over their former slaves.
For the record, my wife and most of her family hate this "holiday" like poison. Happy Fathers' Day.
Explained.
