Juneteenth - what kind of goofy name is this ?

I don't know how "Juneteenth" came t be called that, but it is a very illogical name. Doesn't seem to make any sense. June is a month, and "teenth" is a suffix of numbers that range from 13 to 19. So how do these 2 go together to make a word that has a logical meaning ?

If somebody wanted to have a name for a day when black people were freed from slavery fine. How about "black freedom day" ? Or emancipation day ? Those would address the meaning of the day. But "Juneteenth" ? No. Sounds stupid.

It's just another idiotic make up term for Woke people who hate America. Ranks right up there with Critical Racist Theory and the 1619 Project.

Liberals are basically dumber than a stalk of corn.

Is it white privilege when trumpies are able to freely express their prejudice against black people...without consequence on a political board?
Why, yes, it is.
Right? Lefties need to coddle them because they think blacks are too incompetent to vote or get ID. :)

Wingers don’t spend their time condemning slavery. They carp about a term used to describe the end of slavery.

There is no such thing as white privilege in America. Not when whites are rampantly discriminated against, while black privilege is the granting of the benefits of that discrimination. Blacks are the beneficiaries ; whites are the victims.

And why are you blabbering about prejudice? That isn't the question of the thread.

We all thought "slavery bad" was a foregone conclusion. Apparently leftists are still scarred by their own actions back in the good old KKK days.

Yes, because as we have well known, slave owners were keenly interested in their slaves being educated people with a firm grasp on grammar and spelling.

You wingers are really something else, aren't you ?

Sad thing is I be banned if I told what that something was.

I had suggested before that you talk about how oppressed you are as a white man.....to some of your black acquaintances/friends. Have you done that yet? If not, stop your crying.

It is OK to post lies and racist crap on PJ. It is not acceptable to call people out on it.

I talk about it to ANYBODY all the time. And I am not 100% "white man". I am 50 % Hispanic. 50% Danish. My paternal grandparents were from British Honduras (Belize) in Central America, and I speak Spanish fluently desde mil novacientos cinquenta y nueve.

And my black acquaintances/friends are not oppressed. They are the beneficiaries of Affirmative Action. I could be too, but I refuse to accept privileges based on my race, not accorded to everyone. I am proud to say that I have never filled out an AA questionnaire. And I wouldn't be caught dead with minority privilege from AA. Those who do, ought to be ashamed of themselves.

You are attacking them for not using proper English, when you have to know the last thing slave owners wanted were educated slave. In a lot of places it was illegal to education a slave.
I have no idea where the funny word came from. I just criticized it for what it IS, not who it came from, or how.
