Federal Holiday and most schools are closed. Just wondering what the type of events are happening today.

Reminder, Ags: Texas A&M offices will be closed tomorrow for Juneteenth and will reopen on June 20. #tamu

Working

Working today.

Prayer vigil with my St Floyd Funko Pop

Working

Working like always.

Even if I had the day off, I would not be celebrating a virtue signaling made up holiday.

And because someone will say "but it was already a thing in Texas," I am referring to the federal government pandering due to Fentanyl Floyd and making it a holiday when it has nothing to do with the end of slavery in the United States.

Appreciating those who have given so much.

I'll be partaking in a paid federal holiday.

Have a couple cold brews and enjoy some golf

Work offers a floating holiday . . . I'll work today and cash it in July 3 for a 4-day weekend.

Reading articles about a culture that is destroying (i.e., shootings) itself on the day they are celebrating their culture.....so much fun

Working…selling a pile of AR-15s out of the back of my pickup.

I will be selling tacos

I don't know. I'm on break.

I'm celebrating by working in order to contribute to society & make-up for all the lowlifes on welfare

By badmouthing the party of slavery and the KKK

Is Juneteenth like kwanza ?

Working! Imagine that….

Getting fried chicken from the Chinese running Hartz Chicken, getting a watermelon from the Hispanic Fiesta Mart, and chasing it w/a 40 oz bought at the corner store run by the Middle Easterner.

About like I celebrated March teenth, April teenth, May teenth and probably July, August and September teenth.......

Working hard, encouraging my children, being a dedicated husband, paying my bills. Got a morning workout in too.

You know, what the whole woke crowd labels "toxic whiteness"

Working. And posting on TexAgs

It's too hot to do anything.

Mourning the loss of Pig Pokey...RIP Sensei

LOL, this pretty much sums it up. Once upon a time, there were actual black communities with businesses run by black people, but the democrats and their "I'll have those n-ers voting democrat for 200 years" policy made sure to put an end to that.

Here is a Time opinion piece giving us one perspective on how to celebrate by changing control of media:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/this-juneteenth-we-must-undo-the-toxic-narratives-placed-on-black-people/ar-AA1cJJv7?li=BBnb7Kz

" Black-owned media outlets are deeply underfunded in comparison to their white corporate counterparts. A 2020 study by the Democracy Fund found that $1.1 billion in grants were awarded to the flagging journalism industry between 2013 and 2017, but just 8.1% was given to outlets that serve people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ communities."

"Still, the dominant media system continues to further profit from the myth of Black people's unworthiness, inferiority, and threat to both individuals and society at large."

" These conditions require centering Black joy, power, and mobility, as the antidote to a long history of systemic media racism. Black people's needs, desires, visions, and gifts must be at the center of any repair process. We deserve to tell our stories in a way that reflects our very real self-love and care, and the way we see ourselves despite a society that tries to define us as subhuman. In order to achieve this, we must hold media ownership, editorial power, management power, editing power, production and distribution infrastructure, and end-to-end control of our own stories."

" To repair the narrative harm pushed onto us, broader reparations are necessary for Black communities, toothe immediacy of which is not lost on young people, who are three times more likely to support reparations than older generations. In Oakland, CA, the Black Thought Project asked youth to share their perspectives on how to reappropriate half the city's police budget. They responded with demands for secure housing, the reopening of schools and libraries, food for all, and safe places to play and make art."

"… We need a mainstream media system that loves and elevates Black people. This means reflecting Black lived realities and histories that offer context and nuance for present-day stories. This means abolishing the crime beat, which Media 2070's Tauhid Chappell describes as "racist, classist, fear-based clickbait masking as journalism." It means centering stories that reflect the whole humanity of Black people beyond flattening stereotypes which have been weaponized to justify regressive policies for more than 400 years."

Juneteenth is a holiday that has been celebrated in Texas for years. It was not nationally recognized as a holiday until Donald Trump scheduled a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth.

Ah cool never heard of it before happy Juneteenth I guess

Fishing for white bass and relaxing under the pines.

What the hell does george floyd have to do with Juneteenth? Doesn't correlate, I remember learning about this date in 7th grade Texas history class. The day getting more recognition doesn't have anything to do with george floyd.

Correlates very well. It wasn't a made a national holiday until a year after Floyd. It was Biden's minion's idea and he made it happen. Pure political move based on Floyd's death.
