IMO, Juneteenth is more worthy of a holiday than Columbus Day and Labor Day, just to name two. |

I just think a small part of Juneteenth should be about acknowledging that it took a lot of white people, and particularly dead white people, for all of this to happen.
I know talking about white people positively in any historical context is taboo, but at least part of the celebration should be a message of unity, that it took both races coming together to end slavery. |

Well I think slavery was a pretty shitty thing, so the ending of that practice here is worthy of celebration and remembrance. |
